Feed, bathe, and shower with rescued elephants near Krabi, with hotel pickup, guides, snacks, photos, and a 90-minute family-friendly visit.

“Such a cute experience to come close with elephants who are in great care. You get to feed, bathe, and take pictures with them. Some elephants are retired performers, so they spray you with water and raise their trunk for photos. The staff were very helpful with getting photos, so don’t be afraid to book if you’re solo. They provide showers to wash up after the session also. At the end they serve you a great single serving of mango sticky rice. Quick but fun excursion that you can fit into any morning to provide something fun and new to do. Thank you guys for an amazing experience!”
