An ethical must-do – An unforgettable experience with Guide Bang!We can hardly put our enthusiasm into words. Visiting THE ELEPHANT SANCTUARY KRABI THAILAND was the absolute highlight of our trip and a deeply emotional experience.🐘 More than just a visit – An educational experienceFrom the very first minute, we knew we were in the right place. Our guide, the fantastic Bang, and his entire team radiate incredible dedication. The detailed introduction was not only informative but also eye-opening. Bang explained the tragic backstories of the rescued elephants with great empathy and honesty, while also shedding light on the dark side of elephant tourism. This is about healing and respect, not entertainment.* Feeding: We were able to treat the elephants to healthy snacks. It's incredible how gentle and grateful they are.* Mud and Bath Time: Watching the elephants happily wallow in the mud and then giving them a refreshing shower in the cool water was simply fantastic fun. You can feel their pure joy of life and see how comfortable they are.* Species-Appropriate Husbandry: It's clear that the elephants are not subjected to any coercion. They move freely, have huge, natural enclosures, and are cared for with love and expertise by Bang and his team. The animals' well-being is truly the top priority here.Conclusion:The Elephant Sanctuary Krabi is a shining example of genuine, ethical animal welfare. Anyone who loves elephants and wants to make a truly positive contribution must visit this place.A huge thank you to Bang and his dedicated team for this wonderful and deeply moving experience! We will definitely be back!

We would like to thank Bhang and all of his excellent colleagues for a fantastic experience during our visit on 13th November. The dedication, devotion, hard work and commitment of the whole team means that these elephants are in great hands, and also affords the visitor a special and unique interaction with these beautiful creatures. The facilities are also excellent both for the elephants and for visitors, and the lush setting is in itself a slice of Krabi's exuberant tropical delight. It was a privilege and a pleasure to spend the morning there.

An unforgettable experience! From start to finish this activity was just perfect. Pick up from hotel on time and in a comfortable van, short ride to the sanctuary and upon arrival we were greeted by a welcoming and smiling host (Bang).We were welcomed with cold water fruit and snacks whilst Bang shared the history of the sanctuary and the area ans the ethos of the place - it’s all about giving the elephants who have been rescued a safe and good life. NO RIDING, no mis treatment, very loving and bc caring not like other places in Thailand who call themselves sanctuary’s. It moved a few of us to tears as Bangs story was so emotional and powerful. Understanding this really set the day up, he told us what to do and not to do when we met the elephants but also put responsibility on us as a group to behave appropriately and respectfully towards the elephants.Before we left they made sure we had sunscreen, hats if needed and bug spray, everything was considered.We were driven closer to the location where the elephants were roaming free, a short walk and the elephants appeared!We all fed them with banana then walked for about 20-30 mins alongside the elephants back to the main area.A short rest for water and toilets for the humans and a rest in the shade for the elephants, then we all prepared some vitamin balls which we then fed to the elephants. Daily supplements and goodness!After this it was washing and bathing time! Again an amazing experience. Those that wanted to washed the elephants in the huge car wash type showers! Then a mud bath spa where u get covered in mud but only if u want to! Those that don’t want to do can watch. After the mud bath it was cleaning time, we walked to a small pool and got into waist deep warm water and scrubbed and washed the elephants.Returning to the centre we were then able to shower and change (towels were provided) and greeted with a very colourful lunch of fruit and local snacks. We fed the elephants our left overs and said goodbye!We cant express what a once in a lifetime experience this was. Bang and all of the staff were so caring and attentive to the elephants and to us!We felt safe and involved and the elephants clearly also felt safe and cared for.Everything we needed was provided and then some. It was a wholesome, ethical and thought provoking day. Bang was keen to ensure we all understood that we all had a responsibility to do our bit to protect other elephants in less fortunate situations and unethical places. By not supporting them and by sharing the news of the need for ethical treatment of these wonderful gentle creatures.Of course we got a million wonderful pictures and selfies along with the shots taken by the team on the day - which were shared with the whole group by email on the same day - at NO CHARGE- the point of this place is the elephants not just making money!A Short drive in our comfortable van and we were at our hotel.We would not hesitate to recommend krabi elephant sanctuary, Babg and its team. What a once in a lifetime morning at an ethical and caring place with these amazing animals. Thanks team, you are doing great work!Pat and Beki Fenelon, UK.
