Living Green Elephant Sanctuary Chonburi From Bangkok or Pattaya

Deng Zheng, a Mandarin-speaking conservationist, ensured there were no communication issues throughout the entire process, and he taught us a lot about elephants. There are no shows or riding activities at the sanctuary; the elephants live freely after being fully protected. We were able to feed them, bathe with them, and walk alongside them. While other Klook sanctuaries offer elephant dung paper-making, this one does not. However, the conservationist took us on a tour of the sanctuary, introducing us to each elephant and their stories, and we had ample time to interact with them. It's definitely an experience worth trying. Since there are quite a few wild grasses when walking around the sanctuary, it's best to wear light long pants, and it's also a good idea to change clothes after bathing with the elephants. This activity is meaningful and well worth experiencing for both adults and children.👍👍👍👍👍

We had the best experience at this elephant sanctuary. The guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. They taught us a lot about Asian Elephants. They made us all feel comfortable around the elephants as they walked, bathed and ate safely and freely in the sanctuary. We fully support their movement and highly recommend this experience to everyone. Thank you to crazy man, handsome boy and Jackie chan🤍

I super recommend this activity! It’s nice to meet all the rescued elephants 🥰 and the service picked me up exactly in my hostel and also dropped me off there after the activity 🥰 this is worth it! I want to come back next year and meet the baby elephant because one of the 🐘 is preggy rn 😍 this is free lunch which is pad thai and watermelon fruit 🍉 showers and toilets were clean. you can def use them for cleaning after you went in with the 🐘! i will share my first blog to my utube channel soon! I travel alone in BKK 🥰 https://youtube.com/@zestshella?si=VUOssbWivA67SBCt

Initially, I accidentally booked the wrong pickup location, selecting a Bangkok transfer. Over the weekend, Klook was unresponsive, and I thought I'd have to take the loss. Fortunately, I saw a WhatsApp message from the elephant team that evening. I asked them to change the pickup to Pattaya, and I'd pay the difference at the park. It turns out they now bring everyone from various locations to this one park in Pattaya. There were about 5-6 vehicles picking up people from different places during our time slot. All in all, it was an adventure with a happy ending. The experience was both educational and entertaining. Each staff member had a unique segment, introducing a part of the park, helping with photos, assisting with feeding, and sharing knowledge about elephants. Luckily, the weather cooperated; it was still raining after the introduction and explanation, and I almost thought our experience was ruined, but it cleared up just as it was our turn. It was reassuring to see the elephants so well cared for in such an environment, living freely and independently. We felt very at ease during our visit.

Everything was great. Location: There's nothing to worry about since pickup and drop-off are right in front of the hotel. It's very hot at the location. Instructor: The staff providing explanations are friendly, clear, and full of smiles. Experience: Thanks to the staff who coexist with the elephants 24/7, the elephants live with gentle expressions. You get to join them, feed them, walk with them, and bathe them. Facilities: There's a shaded area, and chilled water is provided. The Pad Thai for lunch is also delicious.

We really loved this experience. The elephants are free to move and behave naturally, which makes a big difference. You can genuinely feel how much the caretakers value and prioritize the elephants’ well-being. It’s clear that everything is done in a respectful and ethical way.

This is my favorite part of our 4 days in Thailand! I love that they take good care of the elephants in Living Green Elephant Sanctuary, all of them are rescued and deserves to live a good life after what they’ve been through. The elephants are free to roam around the sanctuary and can eat as much as they want. Other elephant sanctuaries seem far and we can only visit places near Bangkok because of time constraints that’s why I’m so happy we found this in Klook. This experience made us fall in love with elephants! Plus, their Pad Thai is very good!!! Would definitely go back next time!

This was one of the highlights of my trip. I love how the elephants are cared for and loved by everyone in the sanctuary. The tour was both fun and educational. Both tour guides were very helpful, accommodating, and friendly.

I had such an amazing experience at Living Green Elephant Sanctuary, it was honestly the highlight of my Thailand trip. What really stood out to me was how genuine and ethical everything felt. You can tell they truly care about the elephants and aren’t just putting on a show like some other “sanctuaries.” The elephants have plenty of space to roam freely, and they look healthy, relaxed, and well cared for. I also appreciated that they don’t force interactions. There’s no riding, no tricks, and no pressure to touch or feed the elephants if they don’t want to. Everything is done on the animals’ terms, which made the experience feel respectful and meaningful. On top of that, it was very affordable for what you get. If you’re visiting Thailand and want an authentic, ethical elephant experience, I highly recommend this place.

absolutely amazing experience. The animals are simply stunning with their own characters and are incredible! I did the afternoon trip so upon arrival we all enjoyed lunch of pad Thai and watermelon which was delicious. we then got some info on the elephants at the sanctuary with the opportunity to feed them. Then you get to walk around and see them in the bush and then bathe with them which was a beautiful experience. our guide Jambo was brilliant … so knowledgable, enthusiastic and fun! would highly recommend this trip it is a bit of a drive from Bangkok but so worth it in my opinion.
