Ao Nang Elephant Sanctuary

Ao Nang Elephant Sanctuary, Krabi

Rooted in Respect

Experience, Educate, Empower—Ethically

Meet the Sanctuary

We at Ao Nang Elephant Sanctuary support education via interpersonal relationships. Here, guests participate in our elephants’ everyday activities in a morally and respectfully responsible manner rather than only watching. Every action, from cooking to strolling with these kind giants, is directed by consideration and intention. Our programs, which are run by committed mahouts and knowledgeable local guides, adhere to high ethical standards to guarantee the welfare of both visitors and elephants. It’s an opportunity to learn, share, and actually change things, not simply a visit.

Mission

  • To give elephants a natural, safe, and respectful habitat free from exploitation.
  • To instruct guests via practical experiences that mimic the daily schedules and innate behaviors of the elephants.
  • To maintain the highest moral standards in the care of elephants under the direction of committed mahouts and knowledgeable guides.
  • To promote local culture and elephant welfare by raising awareness, understanding, and support.

Vision

To set the standard for ethical elephant tourism in Thailand by combining conservation, education, and compassion to provide visitors with memorable experiences while protecting the dignity and well-being of elephants.

Half-Day Guided Tour

With the goal of assisting and rehoming the elephant since 2018, We are solely focused on that goal.

We intended to raise a large sum of money in order to purchase and rehome the elephants for our care.

However, getting one involves a lot of time, effort, procedures, elephant tour krabi and funds.
