Wonderful experience! And 100% ok. There are currently 6 elephants in care. Walk around freely without fences. Among the locals. ThisElephants are from babiesPeople are used to and would not be able to fend for themselves in nature. Because the elephants feel good here, they don't leave. The locals also help. The animals have a lotNeed food that's why we doTourists are needed to finance this. Small groups. Not the cheapest tour but therefore better organized.
This was a amazing experience that i reccomend to everyone who is visiting Thailand Krabi . The nature , the proffesional kind welcoming personel , the food everything was out of this world . Everyone should experience this atleast once in his lifetime .I am out of words thank you Elephant Sanctuary Krabi
If you’re looking for somewhere where they take really good care of the elephants this is the place for you. The staff and people who look at to the elephants are so friendly and know so much about each elephants. The elephants looked happy, they was free and had a choice to participate in whatever activity they wanted to without anyone forcing them. The elephant and everyone there are very special, thank you for all you do for the elephants and for a one in a life time experience.
**FEEDING ELEPHANT IS ALSO UNETHICALIf you can touch the elephant, then it is not ethical. These wild animals should not be for tourists entertainment. You can observe from a distance, why cause them distress and put them on a schedule just for a tourists experience? They aren’t always ‘rescued’ they are usually bred in captivity… in order to have a 3000kg animal so close to humans takes a lot of breaking and submission training which is NEVER done with respect to the animal, there is no nice way to train an elephant, it is a wild animal!!!! 😭PEOPLE NEED TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES AND STOP ALLOWING PLACES LIKE THIS TO PROFIT OF ANIMAL ABUSE!!!!!
Without doubt this was the best experience we had in Thailand! From a seamless pick up and drop back to our hotel, lovely cold water and plentiful snacks throughout, clean toilets, showers and towels for us to use. Bang, the owner, gave us a wonderful talk about the history of the sanctuary and how they have rescued the elephants. You can tell how devoted and passionate he is. The experience with the elephants themselves was exceptional, we got to interact so much and the staff were wonderful at getting so many photo opportunities together with our families. Then shortly after we got back to our hotel we got an email full of the most amazing photos they had taken of us. Would 100% recommend!!
A wonderful experience amidst gentle giants. A sanctuary indeed where the main aim is to rescue these animals from hardship, cure them and provide them with a better life surrounded by people who truly care for them and love them. Highly recommended.
A must do!Bang and all his staff do a wonderful job.The elephants are treated with respect and love, everything is done gently according to the good wishes of these adorable pachyderms.I will definitely go back one day.
