Samui Elephant Home was established to help, care for, and conserve elephants and return them to their natural habitat to increase the Asian elephant population in Thailand. This project was launched because Koh Samui has no elephant hospital or clinic to provide comprehensive care for elephants. The project also offers opportunities for the general public to learn and participate in elephant conservation. At Samui Elephant Home, you can experience how elephants live and play an active, hands-on role in caring for their natural well-being
