Samui Elephant Kingdom

Samui Elephant Kingdom is an ethical elephant sanctuary in Koh Samui, Thailand, described as the island's first ethical elephant conservation. It rescues elephants from the logging and tourism industries and gives them a natural environment to heal, socialize and live free from fear, stress and exploitation.

Visitors can choose from scheduled tour packages with hotel pickup or self-arrival, or plan a private experience for their group. The sanctuary follows a hands-off policy for bathing, so guests observe the elephants enjoying their mud baths naturally. A custom-built 400-meter skywalk lets visitors watch the herd socialize and forage safely from above.

The elephants are fed over 400 kilograms of food daily, sourced locally to support Koh Samui's farming community. Dedicated mahouts care for the animals, and bookings fund their food and medical care.
