Last week we did a tour in this place. The elephants are chained this can not be called a sanctuary. As the guide said when the sanctuary close the elephants don’t move until next day …. Horrible.
Eco by nature and by name. We did the half day elephant tour which included feeding the elephants, watching them bathe, then an AMAZING lunch at a real Thai restaurant (superb food where thai people eat) set in a beautiful garden, followed by a relaxing foot soak! Non our guide was simply fantastic and knew so much about the elephants, plants and wildlife. He shared so much knowledge and love for his country and its nature. He was so kind and sweet with our 18 month year old that our little boy didn’t want to say goodbye at the end! It was a very special experience - as animal lovers we were very keen to find a tour that was genuinely in the elephants best interest. I believe this is. They have changed the whole model and support elephants who would otherwise be logging or trekking up hills carrying heavy tourists for many hours a day. We had plenty of interaction but at a safe and respectful distance. Thank you for the BEST day!!
We liked the place an the team working there. Yes, it’s still touristic, but they need of course money to feed the rescued animals. We took a Tuc Tuc to get there and booked the entrance fee (2.000 per person for 2h feeding and walking) there.
I have been exploring the Khao lak area and really wanted to see some Asian elephants. I have been reading up on nearby places where you could interact with elephants. My criteria was to not support animal abuse and any kind of mistreatment. Been going through the reviews, and I can say I was surprised. It seems that a lot of the bad reviews are meant for the other elephant attraction, which is just by the road. As far as I understand there are multiple activities that you can take part of, my goal was to just take a stroll in the area and maybe feed the majestic creatures. Entrance fee was 1200 baht, and I feel that it is worth it, as the upkeep is pretty expensive for animals that need to be fed every 15 minutes. I know that there are other packages that include walking with the elephants and making a vitamin bomb from fruits for them as well, however I don’t know the price for that. My guide and all the staff were very helpful and super kind. Offered to take pictures for me and even printed a photo, and framed it in a frame which is produced locally with the help of the elephants ☺️ (frame is made of elephant dung). After feeding the elephants, you get a chance to bathe them with a hose from a platform, then you get to enjoy the view from the relaxation area, where you can stay indefinitely. The staff provides some beverages and fruits for you, while you get to ask more questions and appreciate these friendly giants. The guide spoke English well, and explained to me that the elephants have a larger area that they can roam in. From what I saw, there are no signs of any mistreatment of animals. It is very hard work to take care of these giants and requires lots of attention, care and resources.
Small sanctuary with 8 elephants. We had the opportunity to prepare their food and feed them. We walkef with them, gave them some fruits and watched yhem bath. It was a great experience. So so nice...
