About
Samui Elephant Sanctuary is the first elephant sanctuary established on Koh Samui. It offers tours that educate about the importance of these phenomenal, majestic giants, with a unique opportunity to feed, walk with, and observe our elephants as they forage, socialize, and play in their fabulous purpose-built pool.
The elephants under the park’s care have previously endured a hard life working long hours for the tourism, entertainment, or logging industries, a striking contrast to the happy and peaceful lives they are now living, with the dignity and respect they deserve.
