Elephants World
บ้าน ช.ช้างชรา
A non-profit sanctuary on the River Kwai that takes in elderly and injured elephants. It focuses on feeding and observation, with no riding or shows.
Elephants World was founded in 2008 as a non-profit sanctuary for retired, elderly or injured elephants, set in extensive woodland beside the River Kwai. A day programme typically includes preparing food for the elephants, feeding them, bathing with them in the river and observing them in the forest. Riding and shows are not offered. Bookings must be made in advance on the official website. Fees include return transfers and lunch; check the website for current prices. When choosing this type of experience, give priority to operators that treat animals well and do not offer riding.
