Each of our elephants is cared for by their own dedicated mahout, who spends their days respectfully observing them, preparing essential food supplements, monitoring overall health and well-being, while also ensuring guests safety.

​

Our Thai, English-speaking guides will lead you on an insightful educational tour, focusing on the elephants' natural behaviour. It's crucial to understand that we are a sanctuary, not a national park; captive elephants cannot be returned to the wild. Therefore, our mission is to allow our elephants to live in captivity as wild as possible, free from work.
