Whilst in the area we decided to stop by a rather hidden away Elephant Sanctuary. We didn't make any reservations ahead of time, but the staff were very friendly and offered us to feed the elephant prior to her being taken back to the jungle.It was a true elephant sanctuary with the team taking care of their elephants, not driven by making revenue but we were happy to support them donating for the elephants food.

I highly recommend this experience. Here, the majestic mammals are truly treated, pampered, and cared for in a species-appropriate manner. In a very interesting conversation with Khun Bang, I learned a great deal about their "project." A visit and conversation are worthwhile and worth every baht... Incidentally, there's no entrance fee or set price. Just a donation of your choice, which everyone should be able to afford. :-)
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!🐘
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.
