These beautiful creatures were captured at a young age, separated from their family and forced to learn tricks to perform to tourists.
Joining us helps fund their rescue, and pay for their food and health care. Your responsibility while you are with us is to love and care for the elephants. They each have unique personalities and personal preferences.
You will be preparing their meals, feeding them, joining them on their jungle treks plus much more.

Day 1: Airport Transfer & Kanchanaburi

Sawadee Krab! A warm welcome to Thailand! If you’re arriving in Bangkok by plane, we will pick you up from the airport and take you to Kanchanaburi by taxi. There’s plenty to do in the area, so feel free to explore. We also have activities you can join if you’re interested.
Day 2: Welcome to the Elephant Camp!
Location: Kanchanaburi
Arrive at the elephant camp, meet fellow volunteers and learn safety rules. Prepare and feed elephants sticky rice balls, then trek through the jungle for their mud bath. A messy but endearing experience.
Day 3: Local Market
Location: Kanchanaburi
Let's go to the local market! We're here to buy food for the elephant, and no doubt you'll find plenty for yourself too. Back to the camp and more time spent close up with your new friends.
