Founded in 2014, we now care for over 100 elephants across four locations in Thailand. Elephant Jungle Sanctuary (EJS) is an award-winning ethical and sustainable eco-tourism project based in Thailand. Founded in July 2014, it began as a joint initiative between members of the Karen hill-tribes and Chiang Mai locals who were concerned about the welfare of elephants in Thailand. Elephant Jungle San
ctuary currently has operational locations in four provinces throughout Thailand: Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, and Koh Samui. Our mission is to provide as many elephants as possible with the good health, freedom, and happiness they truly deserve. We use our progressive and ethically responsible approach to elephant eco-tourism as a platform to raise awareness and educate people from Thailand and around the world about elephant care and the plight of the Asian elephant. Our hope is to lead by example, and contribute to a positive change in the perception of elephants; to witness a future where elephants are not ridden, poached, overworked, or abused, and are instead treated with care, love, and respect. Elephant Jungle Sanctuary is wholeheartedly committed to elephant welfare. Our team strives daily to ensure the health, safety, and wellbeing of the elephants we care for. Through the development of deep bonds and mutual trust with each elephant, we are able to offer visitors a memorable and respectful elephant interaction experience, carefully designed to adhere as closely as possible to the elephants' daily routine. EJS endeavours to provide the elephants in our care with the best available veterinary treatment, and our specialist veterinary team works tirelessly to ensure each elephant remains physically and psychologically healthy. Elephant Jungle Sanctuary remains a family-run project, and is 100% locally owned and operated. This means that EJS is not controlled by profit-driven overseas investors or foreign interests, and we can focus on what truly matters, always acting in the best interests of the elephants we care for.
