We spent the morning at the Sanctuary with Tony as our guide. He was fanrastic. We went as a family of 9 which included 3 children. Icream and drinks available to purchase at the end of the tour. Water provided throughout. Recommend to take plenty of sprays to protect from mosquitoes. Although this is also advised upon booking! We all had a great morning and the children enjoyed feeding the Elephants. It's clear they are all well looked after and cared for. We aenjoyed our trip to the waterfall it was beautiful! We would definitely recommend a trip here.

Wunderschöne und einzigartige Begegnung mit den majestätischen Tieren!! War wirklich sehr schön dort, haben die 2h Variante gewählt und würde es jederzeit wieder machen. Die Tiere bekommen jede Freiheit die sie brauchen & man richtet sich komplett nach den Tieren und nicht andersrum. (Auch nur kleine Gruppen möglich) Jeder dort gibt sich wirklich Mühe den Elefanten eine so schönes Leben wie möglich zu gewährleisten. Absolute Empfehlung!!!

This was truly one of the best places I’ve ever visited. I was initially cautious of going to an elephant sanctuary, but these guys exceeded all expectations. My guide Tony went above and beyond to ensure a good experience. He showed true care to the elephants and you can tell how much he and his team value elephant autonomy. 10/10 recommend to anyone who is able to make it here.

We arrived at Khaolak Elephant Sanctuary without pre-booked tickets but had absolutely no issues in purchasing them when we arrived. Staff were very friendly and accommodating with free drinking Water upon arrival. Our guide, Sai, was very informative and welcoming. She was able to answer any questions we had about the Elephants and the Sanctuary - a positive and great representation of the Sanctuary! It was great to see the Elephants in their natural habitat without the force of performing. The Caretakers clearly had a great relationship with the Elephants which was only enhanced with their playtime in the Mud / Water! 100% would recommend. Thank you Khaolak Elephant Sanctuary! 🙂
