Hello and a warm welcome to Koh Phangan's very first ethical elephant sanctuary, which has finally opened!
Join us in the morning or afternoon for a once-in-a-lifetime experience and spend quality time with our small herd of rescued elephants. Our sanctuary is centred amid a verdant jungle on the hillsides of Koh Phangan surrounded by lush forest, and blessed with a smooth-flowing stream. Whilst visiting Phangan Elephant Sanctuary you will learn the history of these magnificent creatures, and have the opportunity to get up close and personal and make rice balls to feed the herd. Feeding these once-mistreated animals by hand leaves you with a memory that will stay with you forever. As we gently pace on one of the jungle trails, observing the elephants forage for food in a more natural environment (more food actually), or take a dip in the mud bath, be prepared to capture the unique moments of the girls with your camera, free from chains and unburdened by heavy ‘passengers’.
Each visit to Phangan Elephant Sanctuary helps us to rescue and protect Thailand’s gentle giants and aids in raising a greater awareness amongst the Worldwide community of animal lovers.

Elephants do not have a voice, so we want to be their voice by not tolerating
the following points in our sanctuary:
No Riding
Just because elephants are huge elephants doesn't mean they can carry heavy loads.
No Bathing
Elephants are not forced to bathe several times a day because it's not in their nature.
No Entertaining
There is no forced entertainment for our visitors by elephants.

It was amazing !Julija Kah13/06/2023Wir haben die Elephant Sanctuary über Google gefunden und waren begeistert, dass sie nur 9 Minuten mit dem Roller von Chaloklum entfernt war. Beim Betreten wurden wir freundlich begrüßt und mit den Preisen vertraut gemacht. Die Fütterung dauerte insgesamt eine Stunde. Zunächst haben wir einen Elefanten mit Früchten gefüttert, dann Essen für die Elefanten vorbereitet und sind danach spazieren gegangen. Im Preis inbegriffen waren Snacks, Wasser und Kaffee, was uns sehr gefreut hat. Unsere Erfahrung in der Elephant Sanctuary war wunderbar und wir möchten sie gerne weiterempfehlen. Die Sanctuary hat erst kürzlich eröffnet und hat derzeit zwei Elefanten.Xaver Bleibinger11/06/2023Had a great time at Phangan Elephant sanctuary. At first you are allowed to feed the elephants with various fruits while the keepers tell you about their past and how they‘re treated. Afterwards you have a „cooking class“, where you prepare small nutritionballs for them. Then we had a small walk with the giants in their natural habitat. You can feel the joy and thankfullness of the elephants. It was such a nice trip and we recommend it. It is a must do when visiting phangan and teaches you about the greatness of nature.Jessi Heifets10/06/2023What a wonderful activity! We were 5 adults, and 3 kids ages 5-2. We had a great time.
