Hutsadin Elephant Foundation

A great and ethical elephant sanctuary. They have 4 elephants and the activities you can do with them are awesome. No riding thankfully. But to walk, feed and bathe the elephants is a fantastic experience. It is slightly on the touristy side as they will offer you multiple opportunities to buy trinkets or donate, so bring extra cash and don't be stingy. The operation is efficient, easy to understand and fun. If you choose the walking activity (which I highly recommend) you'll have multiple opportunities to get photos. If you decide to view the temple on site, be sure to dress appropriately as it IS a working temple.

If you love animals and would like to spend some valuable non-exploitive time with these beautiful elephants this experience will move you possibly to tears. This is a small sanctuary for elephants rescued/bought from a working life and given a new home and happy life. All proceeds go towards the upkeep and care of these wonderful creatures and while you walk along the jungle track giving them a well earned feast of cucumbers they will look into your eyes, touch you gently and enrich your lives while you are here, and your memories might just last forever. Best thing I’ve done in Hua Hin by a long way

​An absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the well-being of the elephants is the top priority here. The staff are some of the kindest people I’ve ever met—their passion for these gentle giants is contagious and they took the time to explain each elephant's history with so much heart. Being able to observe these creatures in such a peaceful, ethical environment was a highlight of my trip. If you’re looking for a truly meaningful experience, this is it!
