Visiting The Elephant Sanctuary in Krabi was truly the best experience of our whole holiday in Thailand. ❤️🐘You can really feel that this place is sustainable and ethical, and that the elephants are treated with genuine love, respect, and care. It was beautiful to see how well they are looked after and how peaceful and happy they seemed.A magical experience for our whole family that we will never forget. Highly recommended if you visit Krabi! 🌿✨
Absolutely Fantastic Day!!!It was my son’s 10th birthday. They made it so special for him. Everyone song and they made him a fruit cake to feed the animals.❤️Fantastic staff!!100% 🌟🌟🌟🤯🤯
This was an extraordinary experience!! Rating it 5 stars doesn’t do this amazing place , team and elephants justice!! It’s so evident that they care and love the elephants. They took their time educating me and showing me the daily routine of the elephant. This place is a must visit if you love elephants or animals in general.I can’t wait to visit again!! Amazing people and team
What a great (ethical!) elephant experience! The staff are welcoming and very sensitive to the needs of the elephants. The way they spoke about the elephants clearly shows true dedication to their well-being,health and happiness at the sanctuary. We got to get up close with the elephants - feeding, bathing and caring for them while they went about their daily routine. Once in a lifetime experience with a bunch of happy content elephants! Thank you
Our experience here was amazing! The most friendliest wholesome family run staff.It was slow season, so there was only 4 people in our group making it an intimate experience with the elephants.The property was very well maintained allowing the elephants to live and strive in their natural environment.The elephants were nourished, friendly, and taken care of making it everything of an ethical elephant rescue.Transportation was provided to and from our hotel. You have to buy tickets in advance not on property. Our time here was spent feeding, bathing, and swimming with the elephants. We were given refreshments and snacks before and after our experience.They also have clean restrooms and showers on site to cleanse after. Overall 10/10 experience highly recommended if you’re looking for an ethical elephant experience. Will definitely visit again!
This establishment does not act in the best interests of animal welfare. Activities where visitors can touch, pet, or otherwise directly contact wild animals are problematic and generally not species-appropriate.Please research carefully beforehand and do not support organizations that exploit animals for commercial purposes. Instead, support reputable and sustainable animal welfare projects.Wild animals are not pets – they should not be touched, petted, or, most importantly, washed, ridden, or otherwise manipulated.Please think carefully before financially supporting such activities.
An incredible and highly recommended experience. I spent quite a while looking for a truly ethical place where elephant care is a priority, and I left this place feeling so happy.Bang and the entire staff were incredibly kind. They told us the whole story of the sanctuary, the elephants they have there now, and the wonderful community that has formed around their care.They don't allow you to ride them, which I find amazing, and while they do have their daily routine because they receive food, they are never forced to do anything. There is no mistreatment, and you can see the love they have for the animals.I would recommend it a thousand times over!
A wonderful experience! The staff are lovely and you can tell they care about the animals' well-being! The elephants are incredible and very friendly! I highly recommend this place!
Great experience with the elephants and staff. Would definitely recommend for families with young ones. Good learning opportunity on how the Sanctuary takes care of the elephants that are coming from prior abusive environments and enabling them to contribute to the local community socially and economically.
What a wonderful experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The three elephants were so adorable, each displaying their unique personalities. They were never subjected to any hooks, sticks, or aggression.Another highlight was the photographer who took so many beautiful pictures of us. It was a complete surprise!My 3yo was initially a bit scared, but eventually, they happily took a shower with the elephants.
🐘 An unforgettable and 100% ethical experience — I highly recommend it!We visited this sanctuary with my two children, ages 2 and 4 and a half, and it was without a doubt one of the highlights of our stay in Krabi.Upon arrival, Bang took the time to explain the sanctuary's philosophy, the story of each elephant — BooBoo, NomNom, and Noi — as well as the rules to follow and what is strictly forbidden. You immediately feel his passion and genuine love for them.We then set off in a pickup truck into the jungle to find the elephants in their natural habitat. Walking alongside them, getting to know them with bananas, moving at their pace… it was simply magical. No chains, no constraints — they roam in complete freedom.Back at the sanctuary, we had a snack while they rested, and then we prepared their meal together. The mud bath was a moment of pure, unadulterated laughter, followed by a rinse and a swim in the river with them. A truly magical moment.What touched us most: at no point were they forced. No riding, no training. Just happy elephants and humans privileged to share their daily lives.An experience I recommend to the whole family, even with very young children. Thank you Bang and the whole team! 🌿🐘
