Real Kathu Elephant Sanctuary — Attraction in Kathu

The worst experience we had. My wife and I arrived and paid for the full package to experience feeding, taking pictures and having a bath with the elephants , unfortunately due to heavy rain we did not manage to do all . when we spoken to the manager (Gee ) Apperantly that's the name she goes by . she showed up very angry and with the worst attitude and when we explained we only managed to do half of the activities we paid for and would like to down grade the package .Her response was its not my fault you can sit here as long as you want I will not refund or downgrade your package and wait until the rain stops and see like we had no other things to do or anywhere else to go . we explained we only got the chance to take a picture and feed the elephant which should be a total of 2200 THB and we paid 4400 THB as we didn't get the chance to shower with the elephant. I asked to speak with the person in charge and her response again and I qoute "you have no right to speak to anyone " . she refused to pay us back which was actually stealing and her manner and attitude made things much worst and the worst part is when we left she was sarcastically shouting and laughing saying you didnt get your refund. honestly it was no longer about the money its just the manner attitude and the way it was handled so she ruined what could of been a lovely experience to one of the worst experience ever . So if you wish to have a good time and no headache and not waste your hard earned money avoid this place by all means Not...

Unforgettable Elephant Encounter at Real Kathu Elephant Sanctuary!

Our visit to Real Kathu Elephant Sanctuary was nothing short of magical, providing us with an awe-inspiring experience with these gentle giants!

From the moment we arrived, the caring and knowledgeable staff made us feel welcome. My baby, who adores elephants, was overjoyed at the opportunity to feed them. The caretaker even generously offered us an extra box of bananas, making the experience even more special for our little one.

Interacting with these extraordinary creatures was both heartwarming and thrilling. Taking photos with the majestic elephants created memories that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. The sanctuary's commitment to the well-being and happiness of the elephants was evident in every interaction.

Real Kathu Elephant Sanctuary stands out not only for providing a unique and educational experience but also for their dedication to the welfare of these incredible animals. I highly recommend this sanctuary to anyone seeking a meaningful and unforgettable encounter...

Visited this sanctuary a month ago and it was absolutely amazing! It was my first time seeing and being up close to an elephant. I was the only person there and I got the full experience.

First I watched an elephant show which involved dancing, ball kicking and hat snatching. Very cool show. Did some banana feeding. Then I met Keaw. She was very bubbly and I learnt a lot about her. Keaw and I went trekking in the mountain and made our way to the bathing site where we got play in mud and bath.

Afterwards I was shown the rubber trees up in the mountain and got to make some rubbery things. To finish the trip, a special lunch was made for me which was some type of noodle (forgot the name) and a side of pineapple. It was really delicious.

My overall experience was fun and amazing. Definitely worth the visit!! And Keaw (the elephant) was just beautiful, sweet and fun to play with! 😊 Highly recommend...
