Koh Phangan's First Ethical Elephant Sanctuary

Koh Phangan's First Ethical Elephant Sanctuary

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.
