An Unforgettable Experience with Elephants
Join us at Pattaya Elephant Sanctuary and spend time with a small herd of rescued elephants now living together as a family. Observe the elephants enjoying their newfound freedom with wonder and joy – trumpeting to each other while playing and exploring their jungle habitat.
Guests can expect a meaningful, eco-friendly encounter with these gentle giants as part of a small group. You will have the opportunity to feed the elephants, walk with them along jungle trails while they forage, and observe them interacting with each other while taking a mud bath and playing together in their pool. Your visit will be helping to support sustainable, ethical elephant tourism.
'Saddle Off' Model
We follow the 'Saddle Off' model promoted by Asian Elephant Projects - which means no elephant riding, performing in shows, or the use of bullhooks.
Ethical Elephant Tourism
By visiting our elephant sanctuary you are helping to provide a caring home for elephants where they are free to express their natural instincts without fear.
Observe Elephants Respectfully
Be part of the solution - spend time observing elephants in an environment where they are respected, not exploited - free to socialise, play, and walk in nature.
