Gibbon Rehabilitation Project

With some wildlife experiences in Thailand, you wonder about how the animals are treated once the tourists leave. That's why the Gibbon Rehab Project is so wonderful. This is an organization that does excellent work and truly cares for the Gibbons and provides them a safe and ethical environment for recovery. It's a treat to get to see these creatures up close and know that they're being properly cared for.

This one's in bang pae waterfall's grounds and you'll pass it and hear gibbons hooting as you make your climb to the waterfall.Must commend the team there for putting in so much love and effort to give these gibbons a chance. You'll see some gibbons with physical injuries coz they used to be bullied by their owners and you'll hear some of their sad stories. Pretty sure they're much happier where they are now.

This organization is to help save the gibbons who have been abused and take them out of the wild. Once you are there, the guide will tell you about the natural habits of gibbons, how they were poached, and how the organization helped them recover. This is an informative and interesting excursion. You can see some gibbons, they cannot be put back into the wild for various reasons. Then you will also hear that more gibbons are adapting to life in the wild. Behind the Gibbon Center, a short walk along the path, there is a nice waterfall also worth seeing. We went into the park for 200 baht alone and found that the Gibbon Center was closed (because of the Muslim holiday?). We were really disappointed. However, it was an unexpected gain that we could hear the gibbons! It's nice to walk to the waterfall, it's worth a trip, although it is very humid. There are some children playing on the side of the waterfall-one even jumps directly from a high place, even though there is a reminder that you can't jump! Thankfully, he didn't fall to death, obviously he did it before.

Wonderful placeVisited with my partner April 2019. Although it’s a small place the work they do is incredible. They staff are really informative and friendly. It was heartbreaking reading the stories of the gibbons that cannot be released, but thankful they have people like this to take care of them. Tam was a lovely little gibbon who had previously had an arm and leg chopped off but was incredible to see how well she copes and how agile and active she still is. After we visited we took a short walk into the forest which was great as we could hear all the released gibbons singing in the trees. There is no fee to enter the gibbon project only to visit the national park, please support them by buying a souvenir as all the money goes back into the gibbons.

Yoshimoto Rehabilitation Center is actually a place to watch monkeys. Here you can see the white-handed gibbons. The gibbons are very cute.
