Bangkok Elephant Care Program at Bangkok Elephant Park

what a beautiful experience. it is a pretty new sanctuary that has been operating for 2 years and have 12 elephants including 2 very young ones. the guide, Nathan, was funny and kind. we had a wonderful time from the private pick up in the modern and comfortable sedan to swimming and feeding elephants. the bathroom and locker rooms were clean and accessible. they provide free umbrellas or sun hats whichever you prefer to take.

omg where do I start. From communication prior to pick up, to arrival at the park, the staff was amazing. Nathan and his other friend were amazing. Both very informed on the elephants care , history and biology etc. they made sure we had fun, that we were safe and brought such energy to our tour. Feeding and bathing the elephants was a beautiful experience. they even helped take photos , striking poses for us. the whole staff at Bangkok Elephant Park are one in one. I love what they are doing for these beautiful elephants and the plans they have to make the sanctuary even better.

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!

It was our first time joining an elephant care program, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! Nathan and the entire team were incredibly welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable. Their explanation of the elephants’ history, how they were rescued, and how they are now being cared for was truly genuine and heartfelt. I have so much respect and admiration for what they do. Nathan and the rest of the team made the entire experience so engaging, fun, and memorable. They brought so much energy to the program and made sure everyone was comfortable, happy, and enjoying every moment. You can genuinely feel their passion and love for the elephants. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Thailand. It’s definitely worth it, and we would love to come back again!

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.

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.
