4. Samui Elephant Sanctuary (SES) The first ethical & award winning elephant sanctuary on Koh Samui, Southern Thailand

The elephants in our care have previously endured a hard life working long hours for tourist s entertainment or in the logging industry; a stark contrast to the dignified, peaceful lives they now enjoy. The goal of Samui Elephant Sanctuary is to provide a happy home in nature for the herd where they are free to express their natural instincts and receive the care and respect they deserve.

Since we opened in 2018, we have received numerous awards for our work for elephants including the Best Animal Welfare award for two consecutive years from the Tourism Authority of Thailand, UK and recognised by leading animal welfare charity World Animal Protection as a Best Practice Elephant Venue.
