The shelter was so great! No phone service was nice and relaxing, so was hiking out. Seeing elephants was so cool. Had a fun time at night playing games and watching movies, my homestay cooked a bit extra for me too. It's a really awesome week.

I would recommend this opportunity to anyone looking for a truly ethical the shelter & cultural immersion. The staff is incredible- passionate, intelligent, and kind. Thank you Cristina, Emily, Lucía, Aislinn, Rose, and Kanda! I spent two weeks at the shelter and was sad to leave at the end. I would love to return in the future!

One of the few truly ethical sanctuaries in Thailand. It is an incredible experience to see elephants living freely in the wild. But it is above all the local community that makes this project so special. If you are willing to embrace a simple lifestyle and keep an open mind, this experience will enrich you deeply.

Tess and I had a fantastic experience at the shelter. The staff were welcoming and very receptive to any questions we had regarding volunteering or the village itself. The work we did felt meaningful, while maintaining a priority for ethical conservation that should be emulated everywhere. We stayed in the village surrounded by the locals and enjoyed the delicious food cooked for us every day. Everyone greeted us with a smile and we felt we were a part of something truly special. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

This was my very first volunteer experience, and it couldn't have been better! Cristina and the team made me feel welcome from day one. Each day was a new adventure—spending time with the elephants and working alongside the community. It truly makes you realize how valuable it is to support organizations like this, which not only help preserve the ecosystem but also bring lasting benefits to the local community.

Sam and I are so glad that we did this! It was a really neat opportunity to live remotely, unplug, and get up close (but not personal!) with elephants in an ethical way, the elephants being free to roam in the wild and do all the things that elephants do. The staff were so friendly and it was clear they really cared for the elephants and cared about the research they do to aide their conservation. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who loves elephants, research, or even just unique experiences and an adventure!

This was awesome! Getting immersed in a rural village like Ban Naklang was so beautiful, and I learned so much even though I was only there for a week! I highly recommend!!

Me and my partner have just returned from our 1 week at KSES, and we already want to return! We loved seeing the elephants returned to their natural environment, it was truly a privilege watching these beautiful animals interact with each other and the world around them. It was an honour to be welcomed so warmly by the Karen people and to learn about their lives and their language (Da Blue!!!!). The work that KSES does is so important and we are grateful to be able to have helped in any way towards their goals of educating and returning elephants to the wild. Thank you so much to the team!

I spent a week here at the shelter and it was definitely the best week of all my travels! The welcoming I received from both the Karen village and the amazing staff and interns was warmer than I could have imagined! The hike to the elephants every morning was beautiful and the ability to watch these once captive elephants roam through the forest, rivers and hills was very powerful. The experiences here are once in a lifetime and the work being done is incredible! I wish I could have stayed longer - thank you so much for having me here!

The work being done at the shelter is so important and inspirational. The elephants are well taken care of with the freedom to roam as they would in the wild. It was so cool to observe them and learn more about their behaviors, diets, and the crisis happening at the shelter parks all over Thailand. It was incredible to see them be able to just be elephants. The gibbon program is also amazing, although we didn't see too many gibbons. The Karen people are incredible as well!! So welcoming and generous. We got to cook with them and learned how to weave and make coffee with them. Forever grateful!
