We visited this amazing elephant sanctuary for the second time, and once again, it was an unforgettable experience! Feeding the elephants and being so close to them was truly heartwarming. You can really tell that the animals are well cared for and treated with so much love and respect. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, just like during our first visit. They took the time to answer all our questions and made us feel completely at ease. It’s clear that the wellbeing of the elephants is their top priority. We will definitely be coming back again!🐘
Great day out and wonderful experience.these people do a fantastic job and need a lot of support
We recently visited the Elephant Sanctuary as part of a family trip with college-age children. The Google reviews are true and accurate. This was an exceptional (and at times emotional) experience. They take such wonderful care of the elephants, and we learned so much about them. Bang and the rest of the staff are passionate care-givers of these "big babies." Thank you for sharing this experience with us. Highly recommended.
We had the opportunity to see elephants and even have direct contact with them at many places on our trip. However, none of the farms, care homes, or other facilities appealed to us because of the activities they do with the elephants. Most of them sounded like zoos or circuses.At our last stop in Krabi, however, we found the perfect sanctuary: the "Elephant Sanctuary Krabi Thailand."The elephants here undergo a certain daily program, which is carried out with tourists, but also when there are no tourists present. At the beginning, you are given a very detailed story about how this place came to be and how it is lived by the people.At no point did you get the feeling that any of the elephants were being forced to do anything. They live in a large, unfenced jungle with a river and many fruit plantations. A paradise for rescued elephants. All of the elephants living there have had bad experiences with humans in their past. Some were abused as working animals, resulting in serious injuries, and some were used as tourist attractions, where they could be ridden. In the sanctuary, they learn, gently and at their own pace, that humans can also be kind to them.We highly recommend this place to everyone.Another explanation of the word "sanctuary": This term is not protected, so please do your research beforehand if you plan to visit such a place to ensure the animals are not being exploited.
The absolute best experience of my life! The elephants are treated like family and they are so happy 🥰 so much included in the price and we had the best time!
This was a great learning experience about the elephants of Thailand. They are allowed to roam on the National Park next to the sanctuary and you can tell they are at peace and happy. The staff are very knowledgeable about the elephants and seem to really respect them. The experience is very immersive, you get to walk with them, feed them, make them snacks, hose them off, play in the mud with them and bathe them. If you wish to participate definitely bring a change of clothes and waterproof shoes!! You will get very wet! They have showers on site for you to change and you get some delicious snacks during the experience. It was so worth the time and money!!We made reservations online the day before (during low season) and they had a van pick us up at our resort the morning of. I’d recommend reserving early especially if you’re visiting in high season, they limit the size of the group to not stress out the elephants.
Our visit to The Elephant Sanctuary Krabi was nothing short of magical—a genuine once-in-a-lifetime experience that left us both humbled and inspired. Nestled in the lush landscapes of southern Thailand, the sanctuary offered a rare opportunity to connect with these magnificent creatures in a setting that honors their dignity, freedom, and well-being.From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with warmth and kindness. Every member of the team was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their mission to rehabilitate and care for elephants rescued from exploitation. Through their stories, we gained an eye-opening understanding of the hardships elephants often face in Thailand—from trekking and logging to tourist performances—and how this sanctuary is working tirelessly to rewrite that narrative through ethical, compassionate care.The day was filled with joy and awe. We had the chance to feed the elephants, learning about their favorite snacks and watching them gently take food from our hands with their expressive trunks. The mud bath was a highlight—hilarious, messy, and so much fun! We slathered the elephants in cooling mud and then helped wash it off in a serene pond, splashing and scrubbing alongside them. These elephants, once overworked and mistreated, were calm, gentle, and incredibly affectionate. Their peaceful demeanor was a powerful testament to the healing they've found in this sanctuary.What touched us most was how clearly the sanctuary prioritized the elephants' needs over human entertainment. There were no forced interactions, no rides—just respect, care, and a deep commitment to letting the elephants live freely, on their own terms.We walked away with full hearts, unforgettable memories, and a newfound respect for these beautiful animals. If you're traveling to Thailand and want to do something meaningful, we cannot recommend The Elephant Sanctuary Krabi enough. By visiting and supporting this sanctuary, you're not only gaining a priceless experience—you’re also contributing to a better future for elephants in Thailand.
