Samui Elephant Sanctuary

 ABOUT

Step into the heart of elephant conservation at Samui Elephant Sanctuary in Lamai, where these majestic creatures roam freely in a safe and caring environment. 🏝️ Here, you can feed, walk alongside, and observe elephants as they socialize, bathe, and play in the mud—just as they should in nature. 🛁🌿 Unlike traditional elephant attractions, this sanctuary offers a compassionate and ethical way to connect with these gentle giants.

As part of the sanctuary’s morning or afternoon programs, you’ll get the chance to experience these incredible animals up close while supporting ethical elephant tourism. The sanctuary’s mission is to improve the lives of Thai elephants by providing them with a safe, happy environment, free from the abuses of riding or performance. By participating in the program, you’re directly contributing to the well-being of the elephants and promoting sustainable, responsible tourism.
