An unforgettable experience! From start to finish this activity was just perfect. Pick up from hotel on time and in a comfortable van, short ride to the sanctuary and upon arrival we were greeted by a welcoming and smiling host (Bang).We were welcomed with cold water fruit and snacks whilst Bang shared the history of the sanctuary and the area ans the ethos of the place - it’s all about giving the elephants who have been rescued a safe and good life. NO RIDING, no mis treatment, very loving and bc caring not like other places in Thailand who call themselves sanctuary’s. It moved a few of us to tears as Bangs story was so emotional and powerful. Understanding this really set the day up, he told us what to do and not to do when we met the elephants but also put responsibility on us as a group to behave appropriately and respectfully towards the elephants.Before we left they made sure we had sunscreen, hats if needed and bug spray, everything was considered.We were driven closer to the location where the elephants were roaming free, a short walk and the elephants appeared!We all fed them with banana then walked for about 20-30 mins alongside the elephants back to the main area.A short rest for water and toilets for the humans and a rest in the shade for the elephants, then we all prepared some vitamin balls which we then fed to the elephants. Daily supplements and goodness!After this it was washing and bathing time! Again an amazing experience. Those that wanted to washed the elephants in the huge car wash type showers! Then a mud bath spa where u get covered in mud but only if u want to! Those that don’t want to do can watch. After the mud bath it was cleaning time, we walked to a small pool and got into waist deep warm water and scrubbed and washed the elephants.Returning to the centre we were then able to shower and change (towels were provided) and greeted with a very colourful lunch of fruit and local snacks. We fed the elephants our left overs and said goodbye!We cant express what a once in a lifetime experience this was. Bang and all of the staff were so caring and attentive to the elephants and to us!We felt safe and involved and the elephants clearly also felt safe and cared for.Everything we needed was provided and then some. It was a wholesome, ethical and thought provoking day. Bang was keen to ensure we all understood that we all had a responsibility to do our bit to protect other elephants in less fortunate situations and unethical places. By not supporting them and by sharing the news of the need for ethical treatment of these wonderful gentle creatures.Of course we got a million wonderful pictures and selfies along with the shots taken by the team on the day - which were shared with the whole group by email on the same day - at NO CHARGE- the point of this place is the elephants not just making money!A Short drive in our comfortable van and we were at our hotel.We would not hesitate to recommend krabi elephant sanctuary, Babg and its team. What a once in a lifetime morning at an ethical and caring place with these amazing animals. Thanks team, you are doing great work!Pat and Beki Fenelon, UK.
Amazing experience and very well worth a visit, lots of information and interactionLoved it
One of the most amazing and ethical correct Animal Experiences i ever did in my life
Absolutely amazing experience! I love the fact that behind this place there is a meaningful idea! The elephants were so calm and well cared for, it was a pleasure to spend time there!Would love to come back and I definitely recommend!
Bang and his team put their hearts and souls into it! A truly wonderful experience! I highly recommend it.
A beautiful experience this morning. Bang was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and all the other volunteers/staff were very kind. NomNom, Nauri and BooBoo were amazing elephants and we had lots of fun with them. Would highly recommend.
The fact that you're allowed to touch the elephants speaks volumes. This isn't a sanctuary. Stop supporting these kinds of profit-making practices!
Such an amazing experience!! Friendly staff and loved seeing the elephants roaming around freely. Would 10/10 recommend!
Such a true privilege to have been granted the company of these amazing friends this morning. We visited The Elephant Sanctuary Krabi Thailand after taking a conscious approach to our research in selecting the ‘right’ sanctuary to visit. From the very moment we met Bang, everything we had read online beforehand about the sanctuary's amazing work and beliefs simply emanated through his warmth and kindness. The programme is designed to be informative, honest, fun and represents the whole teams passion for animals happiness and welfare throughout.If you truly aim to understand the importance of animals, their habitat and welfare, falling in love with these beautiful friends is perfect for you and your loved ones.The world needs more ambassadors like Bang and the sanctuary team- their adoration for these animals and finding meaning in life is key to their success so far.Wishing them all the very best for future development and growth as a sanctuary- though this is only possible with the help of us and ALL of us ❤️ 🌎 🐘
