1. ElephantsWorld
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2,122 reviews
ElephantsWorld was founded in 2008 and is a sanctuary for sick, old, disabled, abused and rescued elephants, who will receive the rest and joy that they deserve. They can enjoy themselves in their own natural environment here until their last breath. At ElephantsWorld we work for the elephants, instead of them for us! As a visitor you get to enjoy very memorable experience with these beautiful animals. You can help us with taking care of them by feeding them, gathering food and bathing them.

We have two girls who wanted to come to Thailand for a while. They wanted to work with Elephants, so we spent a full day at Elephants World; an amazing place that was founded by a veterinarian who dedicated the last 10 years helping elderly and injured elephants who were mistreated by humans. We joined the daily routine of over 40 elephants, helped with preparing food, fed the older ones and the adorable babies... and enjoyed joining them during their daily swim at the river. Meeting these giant creatures from up close helped us understand how beautiful and gentle smart and sensitive animal they are! 2500bht per person. They provide lockers and there is a shower you can use at the end of the day and a great lunch. But most importantly- staff here is just FANTASTIC!

This is the only genuine elephant sanctuary on the island where elephant comes first, not the visitor. It’s worth every penny you pay, these people are saints and each elephant has its own minder who is making sure those old ladies have everything they need! These beautiful giants have been tortured, abused and have been working hard for most of their lives, this sanctuary makes sure it gives them the retirement and enjoyment they deserve. Sanctuary is purely self financed by the ticket sales and donations and all the money goes into making sure there is enough bananas and food for them as well as gives the sanctuary a chance to buy and save more elephants ( their price can reach 5 million bahts!). Make a difference, help them out, spend a day feeding and walking with elephants in their own environment, it will be a memory you will cherish for life! Thank you for reading this.
4. Wat Phra Chetuphon
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 50,925 reviews
One of the oldest and largest temples in Bangkok features the famous Reclining Buddha, which is the largest in Thailand measuring more than 150 feet in length.
Reviewed By LaNyonsaise - West Midlands, United Kingdom
Most of the tour groups are taken directly to the Reclining Buddha and, yes, it is impressive and well worth seeing. However, the temple complex is extensive with lots of stupas, huge statues, little rockeries and tinkling fountains and by exploring more widely you will find shady corners for peace and contemplation. My favourite out of the 3 main places to visit in that part of Bangkok.

7. Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,807 reviews
This temple complex not only serves as a religious site for the monks who live and worship there, but also features a maze of natural caves in an overgrown jungle valley where stone tools, pottery remains and the mold for making Buddha footprints have been excavated.
Reviewed By 964anuragj - Singapore, Singapore
What a physical exercise that ended with stunning views at the top of tiger cave mountain. About 1260 steep steps, equivalent of 300m height or 600m walk, this activity is definitely recommended for those who are looking for strenuous activity in Krabi. Definitely recommend but be ready for sweaty evening. Start at 5pm and be there by 6pm to get a clear sunset view. Carry plenty of water to stay hydrated but you will get filtered cold water tap at the top of the hill. People bring drones as well for a clear sky experience. We thoroughly enjoyed this and would do it again next time we are in Krabi.

10. Freedom Beach

Reviewed By LoveNatureTraveller
Fantastic warm, clean water, one small cafe on beach, take tuk tuk instead long boat ( tuk tuk from Karon Beach to Freedom costs 400 baht, and long boat from Patong charge 1000 baht, although trip is very short. If you arrive by car/tuk tuk/motorbike, you have to walk down/up the stairs - some good, some broken, but manageable - average fitness required, down takes 20 minutes to walk, up - 25-30 mins to walk. Clean beach. Jewel in the midst of civilization. Definitely recommended!!!
