Bangkok Elephant Care Program at Bangkok Elephant Park

Many people say we should boycott animal performances, including activities like touching elephants and bathing them. But how do you find an organization that charges admission yet only allows viewing elephants from a distance, while commercially operating so-called "elephant care," or allowing minimal contact with elephants so the organization has funding to run rescue operations and sustainably maintain commercial operations through ticket sales? If you can find a place that both cares for elephants and is easily accessible for travelers, that is great. If you don't have the time or patience to do the research, you can check out this place. The English introduction is very lively and interactive, and they will take you to take photos with and feed the elephants. They lead the elephants into the water, and basically no one uses brushes to scrub them—I would recommend eliminating brushes altogether. They provide simple meals and washing facilities. For most people, it's probably their first time touching an elephant. Seeing the scars on their bodies is a unique kind of life lesson.

We had an amazing time at Bangkok Elephant Park! From the moment we were picked up (right on time!), everything was well-organized and enjoyable. We loved all the activities – from making a herbal inhaler and preparing food for the elephants, to feeding them, walking alongside them, and even bathing them. Every moment was memorable and hands-on, giving us a true connection with these gentle giants. Also, the staff were all incredibly kind and accommodating, making the experience even more special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a meaningful and fun day with elephants in Bangkok!

This was my first reason for visiting thailand and we are happy that the Bangkok Elephant Park experience was a blast! With change of clothes for you to borrow and wear during the activity. with hat to protect you from the sun since it's very hot. We recommend half day visit so you can enjoy all activities especially the mud bath and bathing with elephants. Lunch is also included. They take pictures and upload to Facebook which is really helpful especially if you have low battery phone. We enjoyed making thai inhaler and food for elephants. the tour guides can speak English which is a plus. We highly recommend this attraction on your visit to Thailand.

One of the highlights of our Bangkok trip! 🐘❤️ The elephant park immersion was such a beautiful and memorable experience. Being able to spend time up close with the elephants and observe them in a more natural environment was truly special. We learned so much about these amazing animals while enjoying a unique and meaningful experience. Definitely a highlight of our trip and something I’ll remember for a long time. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bangkok! 🐘✨

I will remember this day for the rest of my life! It started with my diver coming to pick me up from outside the coverage area and ended with a great experience. I would definitely recommend going to The Bangkok Elephant Park if you’re ever in Bangkok. It was hard to find an ethical one and this one was the best! You could tell the elephants were loved and taken care of. The staff did an amazing job of giving us knowledge before we actually saw the elephants was too tier also!

Our visit to Bangkok Elephant Park was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was well organized, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. One of the highlights of the day was bathing the elephants — such a fun and heartwarming experience! It was amazing to be so close to these gentle giants and see how calm, happy, and well cared for they are. The team clearly treats the elephants with love and respect, and it was wonderful to learn about their stories and personalities. Overall, it was a beautiful, educational, and meaningful experience that left us with lifelong memories. We would definitely recommend Bangkok Elephant Park to anyone visiting Thailand — it’s the perfect way to connect with nature and support ethical elephant care.

Had an amazing experience at the Elephant Park with Guide Nathan and the other dude whom I forgot his name 🐘❤️ The guides and staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and thoughtful. As someone who often travels solo, I sometimes feel a little left out on tours; it’s just me, myself, and I! 😂 But this visit was completely different. They made a genuine effort to include me in every activity, and I felt comfortable, welcomed, and right at home from start to finish. What made the experience even more special was knowing that the activities help support the care and well-being of rescued elephants. It was wonderful to have fun while also contributing to such an important cause. Overall, it was a meaningful, memorable, and enjoyable experience. The buffet food was also really good! I’d definitely recommend visiting. 🐘❤️
