Elephant Sanctuary in Thailand

Here we list some elephant sanctuaries whose approach to meeting these majestic animals is the most respectful on a basic principle that could be taken up in ''try to let the elephant live its life as much as possible''.

The issue of elephant tourism in Thailand, and more generally domestic elephants, is vast and complex. We do not claim any kind of absolute truth, simply, we have chosen these places as being places whose philosophy and principles make us want to recommend them. And of course, we have personally visited them.

Koh Lanta: Jungle Walk with Elephants

English-speaking guide

Walk in the forest of Koh Lanta alongside the elephants of this sanctuary which is one of the most ethical in Thailand. Here, you will not show them, you will not soap them, you will not bathe with them... You will only observe them and follow them at a reasonable distance while leaving them free to live their life as domestic elephants.
