Program Update: Moving Towards Higher Welfare Standards
Beginning August 2025, we will discontinue all elephant feeding activities.
This transition aligns with the ethical guidelines of the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS). We now focus on educational, observation-only experiences that allow elephants to live freely.
We believe true appreciation comes from witnessing natural behavior — not interaction.
Thank you for walking this journey with us.
What You’ll Experience
- Forest Walks: Quietly follow the elephants as they forage, socialize, or relax in their natural rhythm.
- Enrichment Making: Guests help prepare seasonal elephant snacks using natural ingredients—like tamarind, bananas, salt, and rice husk—then observe elephants enjoy them.
- Behavior Observation: Learn from our mahouts and guides about elephant psychology, body language, and individual rescue stories.
- No Physical Interaction: Photography from a respectful distance only.

Meet Our Elephants
Boon-Song
Boon-Song spent decades in logging and tourism, which left her frail. Now, she roams freely, receiving special nourishment to maintain her health and enjoying the sanctuary’s serene environment.
Som-Boon
Somboon is one of the eldest residents, having endured years of hard work as a trekking elephant. Despite weakened joints and no tusks, she enjoys peaceful forest walks, embracing her well-deserved rest.
Chom-Pu
Chompu, once overworked in trekking camps, now explores the forest and splashes in the river. Her resilient spirit shines despite her past hardships and physical strain.
Som-Paan
Som-Paan has scars and trembles from years of logging and labor. Rescued from abuse, she now receives care and enjoys the tranquility of the sanctuary, free from exploitation.
Darlie
Darlie performed circus tricks in her youth, causing joint pain. Though wary at first, she’s found joy in her new home, forming bonds with other elephants.
Siri-Phorn
Siri-Phorn, a former logging and riding elephant, bears scars from her past but is now safe. Though cautious, she’s adjusting to her peaceful new life, showcasing her strength.
What We Offer
Ethical Elephant Tourism
Located in the serene surroundings of Khaolak, just north of Phuket, our sanctuary is a hands-off facility, dedicated to boosting ethical wildlife tourism. We rescue and rehabilitate elephants who have endured a life of stress and exploitation, offering them the retirement they deserve.
Meet Our Family
We currently care for six beautiful female elephants: Somboon (50 years), Darlie (45 years), Chompu (33 years), Boonsong (65 years), Som-Paan (33 years) and Siri-Phorn (32 years). As the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, we hope to provide a home for even more elephants in need.
Community Education
We work closely with the local community, ensuring that our efforts support the region while providing our visitors with the unique experience of observing elephants in their natural habitat. Our interactive elephant museum is a place for young and old to learn about the importance of ethical wildlife tourism.
