I had a wonderful time. The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the elephants. The elephants were playful and super sweet. I would definitely come back and recommend this experience to others.

After a convenient round-trip transfer from your hotel to one of two scenic sanctuaries—Kathu or Naithorn Beach—you'll get a guided introduction to the sanctuary’s rescue mission. Then, help prepare fruit, vegetables, and health balls to feed the elephants by hand. Get muddy with them in a clay bath, swim in their natural pool, and enjoy a refreshing rain shower alongside the herd.

    The experience continues with a Thai cooking class where you’ll learn to make Somtam and Pad Thai, followed by a delicious Thai lunch. Before heading back, take part in a fun DIY session where you’ll paint your own magnetic elephant souvenir to bring home. Soft drinks, towels, and insurance are included, making this hands-on, heartwarming wildlife and cultural experience worry-free from start to finish.
