Elephant Jungle Sanctuary is an ethical and sustainable eco-tourism project based in Thailand. Founded in July 2014, it began as a joint initiative between members of the Karen hill-tribes of Northern Thailand and Chiang Mai locals who were concerned about the welfare of elephants in Thailand. We currently care for elephants at locations in four provinces throughout Thailand - Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, and Koh Samui.
Our hope is to lead by example and contribute to a positive change in the perception of elephants; to witness a future where elephants are not poached, ridden, overworked, or abused, and are instead treated with care, love, and respect.
We offer Half Day, Full Day, and Overnight Stay options to visit our sanctuary. You will be feeding, bathing and even playing with the elephants. It is also important to us that you learn as much as possible about the elephants and why it is important to protect them. Every program will join special program PE.

How You Can Help Elephants
Due to the unfortunate circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic, both people and animals, including elephants are suffering from a lack of resources. All elephant camps in Thailand, including Elephant Jungle Sanctuary, have been forced to close due to the outbreak of the virus, and we must rely more than ever on external help. The support of generous donors allows us to purchase food, dietary supplements, and veterinary supplies for our elephants, and the provision of these are currently our highest priority. - We have 97 elephants in our care. - Our largest expenses are elephant food, dietary supplements, and veterinary medicine. - COVID-19 has diminished our ability to provide a sufficient amount of these vital supplies to the elephants in our care. - We need help from previous visitors and other individuals who love elephants to continue to provide our gentle giants with the happiness and care they deserve.
