Krabi Elephant HOUSE Sanctuary

We had the most incredible experience at Krabi Elephant Sanctuary. A massive thank you to Coconut Joe for making this day completely unforgettable. He had a really good understanding of English and explained everything so clearly. He made us feel comfortable asking questions — no matter how silly we thought they were — and was always happy to answer them. You could tell how passionate and knowledgeable he was about the elephants. The elephants themselves were absolutely beautiful. One of them was pregnant, which made the experience even more special — I still can’t believe I got to gently touch a pregnant elephant. That’s something I’ll remember for the rest of my life. We were also lucky enough to see a baby elephant, which was just adorable. We even got to try making paper from elephant poo! It sounds a bit gross, but it was actually very clean and well organised. You don’t touch anything dirty , and it was really interesting to see the process and how the paper is made. Overall, this was such a brilliant experience. The sanctuary clearly cares deeply about the elephants and their wellbeing. I genuinely couldn’t recommend a better place to visit if you’re in Krabi. Thank you again, Coconut Joe, for such a magical day — it’s a memory we’ll treasure forever. 🐘💚

This is by far the best elephant sanctuary in all of Krabi! Everything was absolutely wonderful. Jok - “Coconut-man” was an excellent guide. Did an incredible job explaining about how to safely interact with the elephants. So many elephants that you get to interact with up close and personal, including several young babies. Making medicine and paper was a nice way to learn more about the elephants. Feeding, bathing, & spending quality time with so many elephants was a once in a life time experience. There are many places that claim to be the best or most ethical, but Krabi Elephant House Sanctuary is hands down the best in all of Krabi or Thailand for that matter. Book today you will not be disappointed. 🐘🇹🇭🎉

One of the best days/experiences we had whilst in Thailand. Our guide Joe and the team were all fantastic. We got to walk around with the elephants, feed them, put mud on them and then get into the river and wash the mud off and brush them. We also made the elephants some medicine balls and fed them to the elephants. Joe was great at capturing photos of us and making sure we were having a good time. He was so knowledgeable and accommodating. The elephants are well looked after and we’re walking around freely with us. It was such an amazing experience, highly recommend!!
