Share Activity

Location Ko lanta, Thailand

Lanta Tourist Center

Engage in close interaction with amiable elephants, dedicating ample time to their care through activities such as bathing, feeding, and producing therapeutic substances for their well-being.



Pickup services are available from your hotel at either morning or afternoon time slots upon selection. Your professional English-speaking tour guide awaits your arrival to introduce you to the sanctuary and its majestic elephants.

Upon entering, exchange a banana for the attention of these gentle giants. Engage in friendly interaction before venturing into the mud pool, where you can join the elephants in soaking their skins in soothing mud baths. This traditional practice aids in protecting their skin from harsh sunlight, akin to applying sunscreen for human skin.

After the mud bath, proceed to bathe the elephants in a tranquil water pool, allowing nature's splendor to envelop them. Follow this by grooming their fur, removing excess mud and promoting relaxation through exfoliation. This thorough cleansing process ensures they remain clean and comfortable during your visit.

Next, delve into the fascinating world of elephant care, learning techniques for preparing meals and medicinal remedies essential for their well-being. Herbal medicines consist of a blend of various nutrients necessary for maintaining their health. These supplements serve much like dietary supplements for humans, aiding their vitality.

Following the meal preparation session, relax amidst the serene scene of feeding the elephants their herbal medicine. This experience offers both entertainment and educational value, making it a memorable part of your visit.

Lastly, engage in an intriguing activity: crafting eco-friendly paper from elephant dung. This unique project transforms waste material into a sustainable art form, providing a lasting memory to cherish. Take home the completed piece as a memento to share with loved ones back home.
