60th BIRTHDAY TREAT - We had a great morning with the elephants and there keepers,
From making elephant food, feeding them and then going out to there open space , then hosing them down to cool them off. I was also given a little Birthday cake and gift.
It’s a must to do when your on the island of Samui.

Wonderful experience - What a perfect experience with these beautiful creatures & the equally beautiful people who work here. We’re able to prepare food for the elephants then have close up time with them by feeding & showering them. Seeing them roam freely in their jungle domain was really lovely… a gift these gentle creatures so richly deserve after the difficult lives they were rescued from. The staff here are simply exceptional, their warmth & caring, their absolute commitment to the elephants…. They are amazing! Thank you for an unforgettable experience 🙏🏼

Good for the elephants, good for us. - Highly recommended experience!
The facility is well maintained and informatively designed. Katy explained a lot about the individual elephants, their way of life and their backgrounds. It was particularly positive that the tours are deliberately small and short, so that the welfare of the animals is always in the foreground.
No donations were asked at any time, however, you can then purchase nice souvenirs in a small shop and thus support the Elephant Home.
A respectful, transparent approach to the elephants – highly recommended and a worthwhile visit!

Samui Elephant Home - It was a very nice experience to be able to feed the elephants and get closer to them in a large park. The keepers take care of the animals lovingly.

Fantastic day at Samui Elephant Home - My husband and I choose the 1/2 day educational elephant home sanctuary experience in Koh Samui, Thailand and were delighted with every aspect of our time with the educators, guides, and elephants. Our leaders were very welcoming, knowledgeable, and engaging, and shared about the elephant home’s philosophy, and purpose as well told us about the rescues of the elephants they care for on their site. We were guided expertly in mixing their supplemental food and feeding and petting them them. Then we walked a short distance in the low lands below a lush mountain area where the elephants foraged and watched one take a mud bath. We returned to our main staging area and were treated to a delicious vegetarian lunch.
And next we enjoyed seeing one of the elephants joyfully bathing inthe elephant pool.
Finally to say good bye and thank us, the staff had videoed us all in action throughout the day and complied it into a video for us to download and keep for ourselves.
We can’t speak highly enough about how well organized it was and what an inspiring day we had. It is a wonderful experience for individuals, couples or families. You can’t go wrong in supporting this organization!
