Samui Elephant Sanctuary

Samui Elephant Sanctuary is an elephant sanctuary on Koh Samui island, opened in January 2018 in collaboration with the Elephant Nature Park. It is dedicated to caring for elephants that have come from a life of toil and abuse in the tourism industry, and here the animals do not carry tourists on their backs, do not ride, and do not perform shows. Instead, they live in a park designed for them, with care and good conditions.

A visit starts in the morning at 8am. The rate is THB 3,000 per adult and THB 1,500 per child under 12 years old, and includes pick-up at your hotel in the morning and return by minivan, the visit and activities, and a meal. Booking several weeks in advance is advisable.
