About Bangkok Elephant Sanctuary
Nestled in Bangkok’s quiet forest, Bangkok Elephant Sanctuary is more than a sanctuary — it is a family legacy.
Our mission combines ethical elephant care, slow travel experiences, and support for the local hill tribe community.
We are proud to be a hill tribe family–run sanctuary, creating jobs and sharing knowledge passed down through generations. Our elephants’ food — grass, bananas, sugarcane, and herbs — is sourced directly from local farmers, ensuring the community grows together with us.
