elephant sanctuary krabi
Full Afternoon: 13th Nov
Here at our Aonang Elephant Sanctuary , we organize the gentle care of old and retired elephants that have been rescued from elephant riding camps or logging industry for work purposes.
Aonang Elephant Sanctuary Krabi : This sanctuary offers a unique opportunity to experience elephants in their natural environment. Visitors can trek with elephants, swim with them in the river, and learn about their behavior.
Mostly, the elephants that have been rescued are old and retired.
They are no longer be able to work anymore in the tourism industry or logging industry.
Then we came up with the question “where those old elephants would go after?” the possible answers wouldn’t be so impressive.
As the elephant is the sacred and national animal of Thailand, we see this problem becoming an alarming issue across the country.
By establishing the Aonang Elephant Sanctuary, it is our aim to actively work as part of the solution, to rescue and provide a natural living environment for elephants, and to ensure they have enough food and a decent living standard in their sunset years.
