What to Expect at Krabi Elephant House Sanctuary

Krabi Elephant House Sanctuary is a place where elephants can enjoy being in their own habitat. Doing what they do: eating (a lot!), bathing in mud and walking around the forest. That is what you will be seeing during your trip: elephants behaving like elephants. We don’t allow a continuous close contact as it makes the elephants feel uncomfortable. Bathing is allowed, but the rest of the time you will be observing and feeding them. That way the elephants feel in harmony with nature and can enjoy doing what they always do.

A warm welcome to the sanctuary! After a brief introduction it's time to meet Tong, the oldest member of the herd in the camp.

We join the elephants for a walk around the park. We do this in their pace. They stop sometimes to eat or to sit down and relax.

We prepare food and herbal medicine for the elephants. When ready, it's time to feed them.One of the highlights of the day as this is a special treat for them. You will also receive drinks and fresh fruits at the camp.

See the elephants in the mud spa. They enjoy rolling around in the mud. As for humans, they use it to treat and protect their skin from parasites.

Prepare to get dirty! We get into the natural pool together with the elephants. You can wash them or just observe them as they roll around in the water and mud,

At the end of the program it's time to head back to your hotel. We bring you back to your hotel in Ao Nang, Krabi Town, Klong Mueang or to the airport. Thank you for your support and enjoy the rest of your holiday!

At Krabi Elephant House Sanctuary the elephants can roam around in peace. The mission of this sanctuary is to take care of them in their natural habitat and to increase public knowledge about this mighty animal. This will benefit our future generations and the elephants can get old happy and worry free!

Most definitely! Krabi Elephant House Sanctuary welcomes children of all ages. Safety is our concern, so we give young and old guidelines and rules at the start of the program. That way we can keep the trip safe and fun for everyone. Children between 0-3 can join for free. Kids between 4-10 pay a lower child price.

We welcome pregnant women to the sanctuary, but keep in mind that we walk along the park with the elephants. This can be tiring for women during their late pregnancy.

We are open year round, rain or sunshine. The elephants enjoy the rain as they can have fun in the mud and water. Don’t worry about the weather: if it’s necessary we’ll provide rain coats and umbrellas. Visiting Krabi Elephant House during a rainy day is something special!

You can cancel your booking for free up until 24 hours in advance of the tour start date, no questions asked. We’ll refund you the deposit or you can choose to use it as an advance to a different booking or tour.
