I cannot believe people are falling for this pathetiic excuse of a "sanctuary" for bears. Coming from Northern Canada where there actually are wild bears in our forests, it took me about 3 seconds to realize these bears are tranquilized obviously to promote tourism. There were loud people all around! The "enclosure" was 5 ft high, with higher platforms where the bears "slept". As well as large trees right along their fenceline (easy for a bear to climb out of the enclosure). Yet, not one of the 4 large bears (including the one resting casually in a hammock) stirred with all the commotion of people passing by.
3 hours later, as we walked to the exit, I felt the urge to check on the bears again. No surprise, there were no bears in this enclosure. There were 2 other areas with glass viewing where very active cubs were keeping the tourists occupied If you stopped and listened carefully, you could hear a growl coming from the barn area's at staff quarters. It was an angry growl, and with each new growl you could tell the animal was trying to free himself from something then you heard the chains clatter in the ground If I had to guess, they tranquilize these bears and prop them up for the benefit of tourists. Once they begin to wake up they are removed from the viewing area and tied safely away Wish I had more time to explore my theory but it was our last day there. feel so sorry for these poor animals

Bears were rescued from poachers. Good insight into the wildlife poaching industry. A little more space for the bears would be amazing.

You can see the bear in close up, however there's nothing much special

Great learning centre for adults and children to understand the devastating consequences of human impact on the sun bear civilisation. The bile of these bears is being used in Chinese medicine and the like. Greater awareness hopefully will deter people from using this type of medicine and find alternatives. The park itself is run efficiently with a well maintained facility for the bears.

Super cool black bear sanctuary. All the bears were rescued from poachers and are now taken care of and protected here. Can get close through the glass and on viewing platforms. Lots of information and signs that teach you the importance of the bears and their history.

Nice place on the way to the waterfall. Bears are a bit lazy but have great conditions and seem to be happy. Nice that in such a poor country as Laos someone is taking care of the wild animals.

We went to see the waterfalls, but I much prefer the bears. They have been rescued from poachers who hunt these beautiful creatures for their bile, which the locals believe has therapeutic properties. Each of the bears has a name, and adorable personalities. They are amazing and its a cause well worth supporting.

I highly recommend it. This is a great place to have a good time. The bears are so cute and the best is the waterfall. I have never seen any waterfall with that color of the water. The view is really cool.
