Visit Koh Phangan Sanctuary - Samui Elephant Haven
Why visit Koh Phangan Elephant Sanctuary?
In November 2022, Maew Suriya, the founder of Samui Elephant Haven, went on a mission to provide help and address the upcoming danger of the elephants on the neighbouring island of Koh Phangan. In response to the lockdowns and the inevitable decline in tourist visits, Maew decided to extend as much help as possible and open a sanctuary for the elephants that were no longer needed in the tourist trade of elephant trekking. Previously an elephant riding camp, the camp was in a dire situation due to the complete drop-off of visitors to the islands.
Phangan Elephant Sanctuary is lucky enough to be surrounded by a lush forest on a hillside in the South of the island, Phangan Elephant Sanctuary invites visitors from all walks of life to join us on an enlightening journey, diving deep into the history and individual stories of these rescued elephants.
We offer you a unique opportunity to interact with these super-intelligent creatures and feed the herd by making rice balls and hand-feeding the girls. A fabulous experience to have had in your lifetime.
Maew and his dedicated team have remained steadfast in upholding the same unwavering ethical principles that defined Samui Elephant Haven. Their primary goal is to ensure that these once-demoralised beings remain liberated from chains and untouched by the burden of tourists on their backs.
