Samui Elephant Haven Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Koh Samui Elephant Sanctuary is a sanctuary for rescued elephants on the tropical island of Koh Samui in southern Thailand. The elephants who now live here have all experienced hardships before, including logging, riding elephants, begging on the streets and performing in circuses. Now these lucky elephants are free to express their natural instincts without suffering any more, communicating with each other in their beautiful natural environment, foraging on native plants and playing together in their custom-built swimming pools and mud pits. Visitors to the sanctuary can have meaningful encounters with these magnificent animals in an environment of respect and appreciation, an ethical form of elephant tourism that allows elephants to live in nature in peace and dignity.

There are many elephants here, and the elephants are very big, but they are still very cute.
Super fun, very good, no extra consumption.
Very good feeling, back and forth to the hotel, really convenient, just look at the elephant poop can not stand
Elephant Paradise starts from Koh Samui [different travel punch card] Many reports have frequently reported elephant injuries, just in Thailand, I am going to Koh Samui to see the elephant shelter. Tourism is tourism, but elephants live in this world like humans, but riding elephants and watching elephant performances are a classic project of tourism normality. Although I have also played in Chiang Mai because of curiosity, I feel very sad when I see the elephants consciously or looking forward to tipping with their noses. Elephants can't understand human words, except for rewards and punishments, I can't believe how cruel this training is. [Elephant in the shelter] The elephants seen in the shelter are miserable, but they feel relaxed and comfortable, without heavy work, leisurely and natural. There are not many tourists, because Koh Samui is a tourist attraction, many people are willing to ride elephants instead of seeing the miserable conditions of elephants. Elephants here are rescued, and they are more intimate with humans. Be Animal-Treatment In the shelter, there is no elephant riding behavior, and the interpreters here will guide tourists not to promote these things. Tourists can bathe elephants with mud, bath, feed and so on. 【Tips】● Address: Koh Samui Elephant Shelter, Koh Samui, Thailand ● Ticket fee: Free no tickets
