Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The morning session (6:30–11:30 am) is cooler and offers the best elephant activity levels, especially bathing and feeding. The dry season from November to February brings clearer skies and more comfortable temperatures, though the sanctuary is open year-round.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Early morning light near the riverbank creates soft golden photos with minimal glare
Ask your mahout to position you and your elephant near the large banyan trees for natural framing
Photos are taken by the sanctuary’s photographer and shared via Facebook—downloadable for free

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Tap the elephant’s chest gently before petting—it’s a traditional gesture of respect in Thai elephant handling. Avoid touching the head or trunk directly unless the mahout invites it.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

Elephant birthdays are celebrated monthly with special treats and photos—ask your mahout if you're visiting during one
Valentine’s Day and Songkran (Thai New Year) often feature themed feeding activities and photo ops
Peak seasons are school holidays (April, July, December) and Thai public holidays—book early

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

Stay within designated zones—elephants are large, gentle, but unpredictable animals

Drink only the bottled water provided; tap water is not served to guests
