Elephant Nature Park Office

A really great project worth supporting & once in a lifetime experience! I did the sunshine tour and had a fantastic day, also visiting the ENP. In my opinion people who leave a bad review are simply not well informed of the context. These tours are more expensive but in my view worth every single cent, read more context below. The ENP does an amazing job rescuing elephants from circuses, logging industry, street begging etc. and give these majestic creatures a new start, medical care and healing environment. Obviously there elephants are not wild, nor can become wild. I am convinced the ENP is doing the best possible given circumstances. By supporting the ENP, you also support local farms to transition to a non-elephant-riding eco-tourism. In the particular case of the sunshine tour the elephants, I understood they get to meet tourism once per week only and during the rest of the week they forage the jungle freely with their caretakers. In order to offer tours everyday of the week the guides simply rotate between different elephant centers. Note: the organisation also supports local communities, and rescue all kinds of other animals in needs (+2000 cats, dogs, horses, cows, wildboars etc.). Check out their work online / do your own research. High recommendation from my side + thanks again to our great guide, King!

We had a fantastic day on the morning tour, visiting many of the 116 elephants that have been rescued here. The experience is hands-off, which we really appreciated—but you're welcome to take photos if you'd like, as the elephants are calm and often come close. Before posting this, I took a look at some of the lower reviews and honestly felt confused. Our guide, Tea, was enthusiastic, informative, and clearly passionate about the well-being of the animals. You could really feel the care behind everything they do. Lunch was delicious, and beyond the elephants, the sanctuary has also rescued thousands of dogs and cats—along with other animals we didn’t get to see on the day. Before booking, it’s worth doing a little research to make sure the tour matches what you're looking for. But for anyone criticizing their approach, it’s worth remembering: they’re doing far more to help these animals than most of us ever will. 10/10—would absolutely support them again. We had a truly lovely and meaningful day.

Elephant Nature Park is a great ethical elephant sanctuary in Thailand. We signed up for the Elephant Highlands Single Day package. The day was well organized, smooth van transportation to and from, & my group had an excellent tour guide “Prom”! Had great engagement with the elephants which included feeding fruits, walking alongside, and watching them. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an ethical elephant experience
