What about Samui Elephant Home?
- Samui Elephant Home is a sanctuary where elephants can roam free, unshackled by chains. Our mission is to increase public knowledge about these gentle giants and promote the importance of the conservation of Asian elephants for the benefit of future generations through our open and ethical program.
- We would like to invite everyone to joy with us and help conserve Asian elephants. We believe that if we all come together, anything is possible.
At present, if the elephants fall sick the nearest healthcare is located in Krabi Province around 300 kilometers from Koh Samui.- Our project is to build the first elephant clinic or, if possible, the first elephant hospital on Koh Samui. The elephant hospital will safeguard the health of elephants on this island.
- Samui Elephant Home has insurance which covers all our visitors. However, we recommend taking out personal travel insurance for your trip to Thailand.
-Yes, we welcome children of all ages at Samui Elephant Home. However, safety is our priority. Before walking with elephants and bathing with them, instruction and guidelines concerning all safety aspects will be explained. We offer a discounted rate for children 5-11 years old.
