Krabi Elephant Care House Experience

It was my first time getting so close to and interacting with elephants, so it was a wonderful experience. They seemed to really enjoy it when we hugged them and scrubbed them with brushes, which was a lot of fun.

Such a lovely experience. We enjoyed our excursion to the elephant care house so much. Touching and feeding the animals was amazing. The. are like family members to the locals.

Cookie Guide is really the best! She kept taking pictures and videos, and she speaks really, really good English and a little Korean! I think it was more fun because the guide was so lovely. And the elephants were so big that I was surprised at first, but the more I looked at them, their eyes were so pretty and gentle,, and I quickly became attached to them. Everyone went in the morning, so there were no people in the afternoon. I went on an unintentional private tour with a friend. It was really nice because it was a tour where you could take care of the elephants without riding them! Here are pictures of the elephants we bathed together, the way to bathe them, and making elephant food.

amazing value for money and cookie our guide was amazing

The elephants were wonderful and get 5 stars. Information about them from the humans, however, was scarce. Where did they come from, how old are they, what are their names, how are they cared for? None of this was covered, maybe as the guide did not speak much English. Made us worry a little for their welfare. This was contradictory to what was written in other reviews, which said they had been given lots of info. Maybe we were just unlucky!

The experience seemed to focus solely on taking pictures, and it was uncomfortable to see the elephants being forced to do things they didn't want to do.

The overall itinerary is about three hours. You can give the elephants a mud spa, make food, take a bath with the elephants and help them wash their bodies. The first few links were a little rushed, but it was still fun. Not bad, recommended.

it was awesome. Elephants seemed happy there and just living their life. It was nice to feed them and it was fun.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and being able to her up-close with the elephants. It was a very natural environment (not pristine in man-made conditions), which I appreciated. The guide was also very helpful and kept offering to help us take photos (as our hands were full with all the bathing and feeding!). He also shared his knowledge on elephants and gave us a better understanding on the behaviours and habits of them. The group size was also not too big (about 10-12 of us in total), which was just nice.

Amazing experience and kind staff! We had a great time feeding the elephants and it was clear how well they were taken care of!
