Over the years, we have witnessed significant progress, resulting in forest areas being reduced due to various factors such as deforestation, global warming, and numerous other factors that significantly impact the population of Thai elephants. This is the situation we must urgently address and rectify as soon as possible. Consequently, we have established an elephant conservation facility to promote sustainable wildlife, environment, and local communities.


Our Samui Elephant Home
 has been open for over seven years, and we have consistently maintained our commitment to quality and projects in diverse fields. Our mission is to preserve wildlife, the environment, and local communities, and we have developed a more comprehensive project format. The name has been changed and rebranded to Samui Elephant Home Caring & Education Center (SCEC) by various public and private sectors, universities, and organizations to jointly develop a comprehensive sustainable tourism project. This includes all visitors, who not only enjoy new experiences but also acquire knowledge and understanding as part of this conservation. We have a dedicated team that will provide knowledge, impressions, and positive experiences to all who have visited our SCEC.

Our activities
 will fall within the framework of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), with the aim of educating both Thai and foreign tourists. This will be accomplished through education that is both theoretical and practical, with a focus on educating children about the environment in a comprehensive manner. Moreover, our program will encompass the local home cooking class, observing the lifestyle in local communities, understanding the natural resources of the sea, gaining familiarity with the flora of the South that may not have been familiar to them, and include the elephant care program. These diverse activities will empower tourists to appreciate the significance of the environment in leading to sustainable development and conservation.

We are a respected organization, established through collaboration across sectors, dedicated to fostering the most sustainable and effective ecotourism. Additionally, we also distribute funds to support local community to growing together as our motto “ Together We Can ”

 

 

- Everyone will gain knowledge, enjoyment and awareness of the importance of conservation simultaneously.
- From the impression that tourists get will result in persuasion and telling others about the importance of conserving the environment.
- Collaborate with local communities to introduce new types of tourism that are unique. It is also a continuation of business balance and distribution of income to the community, including creating an impression for tourists as well.
- We create good cooperation with both public and private organizations to foster a good consciousness which leads to the development of ecotourism in all sectors.
- We are determined to be the starting point in driving ecotourism and promoting environmentally friendly tourism in all organizational sectors. Everything we have done for sustainable natural resource conservation.

 

Samui Elephant Home Caring & Education Center is a recognized organization and sustainable tourism destination, founded on the recognition of environmental, wildlife, and community support. All visitors to our SECE, whether they are Thai or foreign, are encouraged to acquire the knowledge necessary for elephant conservation, have fun, and experience a new travel experience that does not harm nature. This is a step towards fostering the Institute of Conservation and providing everyone the opportunity to participate in this conservation.

It is crucial to note that our sustainable tourism initiative would not have been achieved without the collaboration of communities, educational institutions, and associations. Every step should be executed in the most efficient manner. Both are educating and practicing guidelines that contribute to the preservation and sustainable development of the environment.

Our sustainable tourism initiative will be meticulously designed to ensure maximum efficiency. Our initiative will empower tourists with the knowledge and practical understanding, including the acquisition of the area, encountering wildlife and observing local communities. Naturally, this will be a tourism initiative that can extend conservation to a wider spectrum of regions worldwide. Our program will be structured as follows.
