Best day ever! We had such a wonderful time with Bang (the caretaker) and his rescued elephant family! You can really see how much Bang cares for them, treating them with love and respect as his real family.During the half-day visit, you learn about the history of the sanctuary—how it came to be, how it works with the local community, and why they started this program for tourists. It is all very touching.The sanctuary itself is absolutely beautiful: no fences, no chains, no riding—just a lush jungle where the elephants can roam and wander freely. After learning some history and important safety information, you get to meet the elephants and spend time with them, joining their daily routine—walking with them in the jungle, preparing their food and feeding them, joining them in their mud pool, and showering with them.A truly amazing and priceless experience that lets you bond, even just a little, with such majestic animals. 1000/10 — highly recommend spending time with them!
What happened?For us, it was a complete tourist trap, with prices that are simply outrageous. We remember it from before the Instagram era. The only good thing is that the elephants are no longer used for riding. We moved on and decided against visiting, not anywhere else either.
Visiting the elephant sanctuary in Krabi was one of the most moving experiences of my life. From the moment we arrived, you could feel the care, respect, and love that surrounds these beautiful animals. Seeing the elephants free, relaxed, and treated with such kindness was incredibly powerful and emotional. Bang and the staff were amazing so compassionate, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to giving the elephants a safe and happy life. Spending time with them in such a natural, peaceful setting was truly humbling and something I will never forget. It wasn’t just an experience, it was a privilege. I left with a full heart and memories that will stay with me forever.
The best experience, highly recommended for children and adults. My son was almost 3 years old because we took him for his birthday, and it was a total success. Everyone was very nice and respectful; they provide everything to make it a 1000/10 experience. 🇹🇭🐘🫶🏿
