Samui Elephant Sanctuary Bophut
Samui Elephant Sanctuary Bophut has the honor of being an award-winning elephant sanctuary for displaying great conviction for elephants. The sanctuary is located in Southern Thailand on Koh Samui.
With the visitor’s appreciation and utmost support, we have inaugurated a second sanctuary to provide a safe shelter to rescued elephants on Island where they are treated with utmost care and respect.
Both of the above said sanctuaries are built on forested land. Such land offers a homely feeling to retired elephants that have served the tourism and logging industries.
Samui Elephant Sanctuary strives to offer a haven to rescued elephants where they can live in a natural habitat.
You can visit the Samui Elephant Sanctuary Bophut to feed the elephants and enjoy a nice walk with them.
It is a pleasure to see them roaming around, bathing, socializing with other elephants, joyfully playing in the mud, and having a quality time with their fellow friends elephants.
You can join us in our morning program or evening program at your convenience to show your support for the well-being and improved lifestyle of Thai elephants.
