Why go, and how to do it well
Located in Thab Prik on the outskirts of Krabi town, this sanctuary takes an ethical approach to elephant welfare — visitors can observe, feed, and spend time with the resident elephants without riding. The setting is rural and relatively informal compared to larger commercial operations in Chiang Mai, giving the experience a more personal character. Group sizes are small, allowing closer interaction with the animals and their mahouts. Comfortable shoes and clothes that can get muddy are recommended. The sanctuary sits away from the main tourist beaches and requires transport to reach, but visitors consistently find it worth the trip.

Excellent elephant sanctuary. Great staff and the elephants are happy and friendly. No riding the elephants which is great. You can tell the elephants are well taken of. When we went, there were a few elephants on site, but they do have more. The trainers spend quality time taking care of the elephants and you can feel and see the bond they have with the animals. Very cool experience. I recommend this sanctuary over any location that allows riding or making the elephants perform tricks. We got the opportunity to give the elephants a mud bath and bathe them in the nearby river. We learned a lot of great information about elephants and how they take care of them so well. We got to feed the elephants and pose for pictures with them. The elephants were gentle and happy. Very kid friendly location. I would highly recommend this location! If you do any tourist excursions in Krabi, be sure to include this experience. Absolutely wonderful experience.
It was a really nice experience. We have chosen for this place because we believed it will be friendly for the elephants (because there is no riding). And indeed everyone is friendly against the elephants! The experience starts with feeding, than a little play with the elephants and it ends with elephant bathing. The guides are really friendly. They take a lot of nice pictures and videos of you, and guide you through a nice tour.
great place, elephants seem very happy and taken care off, Mr. Jareon made us a lot of great photos and told many things about those magnificent animals!
