The Sanctuary is amazing! All the staff member are very knowledgeable and you can see how much they love to take care of the elephants. One of best experiences ever!
An unforgettable experience with these beautiful ‘big babies’. The elephants have all the freedom and food they wish! Gentle giants who are calm and so well looked after.Bang, our tour guide, who has worked with the sanctuary for 11 years was so knowledgable and it was clear to see his lovely relationships with the elephants.Walking, feeding, making their food, washing, scrumming, bathing and mud bathing were simple incredible! Cannot recommend this experience highly enough!!
A truly special experience at the Krabi elephant sanctuary. You can tell from the very first moment that their top priority is the animals’ wellbeing; many of them have been rescued from difficult situations and now live in a peaceful, natural environment.They operate according to a very carefully designed protocol, free from exploitation or invasive activities (no riding or shows), focusing on respect, rehabilitation and specialised care for each elephant.What’s more, they do a great job of raising awareness: during the visit, you learn a lot about the elephants’ history, behaviour and the importance of protecting them. The programmes allow you to spend half a day with them, taking part in tasks such as preparing food, feeding them or accompanying them through their daily routine, always in a responsible manner.It’s a very authentic, lovely and educational experience. You leave feeling that you’ve contributed, even if only a little, to an important cause. Highly recommended.
The experience was magical. We encountered a magical interaction with 3 elephants, and had the most amazing guides to guide us with the elephants, in full respect of the animals.
You can really feel the love and passion for the elephants!I recommend coming here so much, not for entertainment, but to support the cause and feel the love they have for the animals firsthand.Our day (9-12am):After an introduction to the sanctiary, we went looking for the elephants, we introduced ourselves to them and feed them some snacks and get to know them (some like hugs, others don’t).Then we followed them. If they wanted food, a bath, a mud or just walk around, the elephants chose and we followed.We even made their food and fed it to them.Afterwards we said bye-bye and got a complimentary fruit platter.Great experience and really mind-changing!
An unforgettable experience! You can truly see how much the staff love and respect the elephants. They are incredibly well cared for, and everything is focused on their well-being.It was such a beautiful and emotional experience that I even cried. Thank you to the amazing team for everything you do. I highly recommend this sanctuary to anyone looking for an ethical and unforgettable elephant experience!
An absolute must-visit while in the Krabi region. This was such an enjoyable, informative, and truly well-organized experience. The staff were plentiful, so so kind and truly passionate about the care and relationships with the elephants. Above and beyond, truly. The lunch was also so lovely.Thank you everyone and particularly Shai (I’m sorry I don’t know how to spell it) for an unforgettable experience.Edit to add: The staff also surprisingly was taking photos for us and shared charge-free on Google Drive. This was phenomenal to allow us additional time to focus on being with the elephants vs trying to capture the experience
Hands down one of the best elephant sanctuaries in Krabi, Thailand! Bang, one of the owners, personally picked up my friend and me from our hotel, making us the first to arrive. During the briefing, his deep love for elephants and his true calling to spread awareness became instantly clear. Afterward, he led us to the elephants, where we got to feed them, walk alongside them, take photos, and even bathe them. It was an incredible experience and a wonderful way to support their mission of keeping these beautiful animals safe. No riding! Highly recommend!
The most incredible experience I’ve ever had. It felt very emotional to be so close to such gentle creatures. They are cared for so well by the volunteers who have great knowledge. The wellbeing of the elephants was put first, and is clearly a true ethical sanctuary, with limited guests and not pushing the elephants to do or go anywhere they didn’t want to. Special shout out to Bang, who cares so much for the elephants and knew so much about them. Thank you Bang and the team for making our day so wonderful 💜
