Half-day highlights from Krabi

The weather was awful in that we were in a tropical storm but that did not stop the tour, the guide kept us safe, wearing wellies would suggest that if the weather is not good you advise customers to take socks

I’ve been to the old style elephant parks, where you can ride them, wash them, watch them paint or play football or lift logs. While these activities are less ethical, they are a lot of fun. With this one, you chop up vegetables for the elephants meal and then watch them from afar. The guide tells you about the elephants - ok but a bit boring. Then you can do some drawing and eat a vegetarian meal. I’m not a child and prefer to eat meat. At around 3000 baht each, I can’t recommend this

Very ethical elephant sanctuary so nice to see the elephants so well cared for and loved. Good that it was a hands off experience so that there was no stress to the animals Food was available which was very kind but probably not needed. Bag drawing great for kids but not needed for adults

I don’t think it’s catered for a 5 and 2 year old as it’s pretty long for them and the explanations and guided tour is more suitable for adults. So I wouldn’t recommend it for small kids. We left earlier as it was too much for them. Otherwise it was great. An elephant tour is great for kids but I would find something shorter and lighter on the kids.

A fabulous insight into the work of the sanctuary, so interesting and very informative. It was great to see the elephants eating food we had prepared and hearing their stories before they came to be at the sanctuary. Plenty of opportunity to ask any questions over a delicious lunch. All in all a great experience.

It was a very enjoyable afternoon at the sanctuary and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.
