About Khaolak Elephant Sanctuary

Khaolak Elephant Sanctuary

At Khaolak Elephant Sanctuary, we ensure our elephants live with respect and dignity, free from entertainment-based activities. Our mahouts, who share a profound connection with these elephants, are champions of their welfare, and we are committed to supporting their rights. We aim to educate the public on ethical choices, helping them avoid unknowingly contributing to animal mistreatment.

Our sanctuary offers ethical, hands-off experiences where visitors can observe elephants in their natural environment, with no direct contact. Partnering with the local community, we also provide cultural activities like bamboo rafting and guided community tours, allowing visitors to engage with local traditions and support sustainable tourism.

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.
