  We loved our experience at the elephant sanctuary. Ethical practices mattered to us, and after seeing other roadside and riding experiences with elephants, we were happy to have booked here. First, booking tours that are exactly what you want makes a world of difference. A few times I picked bundled experiences and it made all of it a subpar schlep with strangers. That was not this experience. We were in our own group, with our own elephants, feeding, walking, watching, and touching. We did not miss riding or those photos. The tour was a very full experience. We learned about their practices with elephants, fed each one from baskets, went on a nature walk with one learning about her behavior, made them "vitamins" which was very fun, and then watched one bathe from a safe, clean distance. Knowing someone recently died from a bathing experience with an elephant on a tour in Thailand, I was glad to be at a sanctuary that had always used ethical, safe practices. Pha was a great guide, with patience and kindness that helped my children be safe and connected. It was a peaceful, zen, bonding experience that was not like any other on our trip, and we did almost 20 outings on this trip alone. I do wish the sanctuary had a little shop with some souvenirs for sale, even if it was the same as sold elsewhere, because we love to buy a commemorative token from experiences and support them further.

  Visiting the Kohlak Elephant Sanctuary was an enjoyable experience with the family. I had no ethical concerns and the rescue animals were treated with respect and dignity. Tony our guide helped us feed the animals, took them out to exercise and help wash them on their return. The cost of the tickets help with the elephants upkeep as they cannot be returned to the wild. Top Tip: Take strong insect repellent and refillable water bottle for when you enter the jungle area.

  I've been to Elephant hills before so wasn't to sure about this one, but it was very good. They do bath the elephants but you can't touch them. Great experience

  This trip was absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide was brilliant and very knowledgeable, we learnt a lot from her. The only down side is our 7 year old is a very picky eater and she wouldn't eat any of the options that were provided so a child friendly option would be good. Other than that we have no complaints the trip was absolutely fantastic.

  This Elephant Sanctuary trip was excellent. The Elephants are looked after very well and are not tied up or restrained in any way. We had a two hour trip which was amazing. There are 6 rescued Elephants here. You feed the Elephants some bananas and sugar cane. Then you go to watch them in the water. Then they have a wander around the jungle going wherever they want to. We then made some vitamin treats for them. Our guide "Jungle boy" was very good. He was even helping my husband find birds in the trees and was fascinated by his binoculars and camera. While they were doing that I was able to stay a bit longer and give all the Elephants a pineapple each,they loved it and so did I! Would highly recommend this trip.
