Krabi Elephant House Sanctuary

Krabi Elephant House Sanctuary is an ethical elephant sanctuary near Krabi Town, Thailand, where a nine-member rescued elephant family lives in a natural forest, including two baby elephants, Dahla and Khun Khao. Visitors can feed fruit to the herd, walk through the forest with the mahouts, help the elephants cool off in a mud spa, and bathe with them in the river. Programs range from a 1.5-hour quick encounter to a full-day adventure that adds Thai set lunch, Emerald Pool and Hot Spring. Hotel pick-up is included from Ao Nang, Klong Muang and Krabi Town, with pier pick-ups for guests on Railay, Lanta and Phi Phi. Groups are kept small for the elephants' comfort, and bookings are made online at least 12 hours ahead.
