Khao Sok Elephant Sanctuary

07/04/2026

One of the most rewarding parts of our experience is seeing how happy our guests are during their visit. Maruay and Wassana, in particular, have become guest favorites. Visitors often take videos to remember these meaningful moments—whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply observing them in their natural environment. These videos are a true reflection of the joy and connection they feel.

Ethical.
At our sanctuary, elephants are free to do what they want — no rides, no shows, no chains.
Just respect, freedom, and care.

Even after more than two weeks, Wasana and Maruay still think of Pure every day.
Each time we walk past her resting place, they gently stop — standing quietly, as if to say they miss their dear friend.
Their bond reminds us that elephants, too, carry love, memory, and grief in their hearts. 💔🐘

🐘 In Loving Memory of “Pew” 🕊️

Pew, our gentle and beloved elephant, passed away peacefully.
That morning, we brought her home one last time —
to her forever resting place at Khao Sok Sanctuary,
the place where she once felt true freedom and happiness.

A small ceremony was held to bless her spirit,
and her body now rests surrounded by nature —
the rustling leaves, the birdsong, and the river she loved so much.

Though she is gone, her spirit remains
in every breath of Khao Sok, forever a part of this land. 💛

Rest peacefully, dear Pew.
You will always be in our hearts. 🐘🌿

📸 “Not a goodbye, but a peaceful rest in the home she loved most.”

On the morning of October 15, we used an excavator to adjust the ground so that Pew could be turned onto the other side to prevent pressure sores. Around 7:00 p.m., we used the excavator again to help lift Pew and change his resting position. Unfortunately, Pew could no longer fight against his illness and passed away at 8:40 p.m

Let’s Stand Together for “Pure” 🐘💚

On October 7th, after receiving treatment at the hospital, Pure showed great improvement. The vet even allowed him to start walking and eating grass again. Everything seemed to be getting better.

But early one rainy morning, the ground became slippery, and Pure fell. Sadly, he couldn’t lift himself back up no matter how hard he tried. Our team used a crane to help him stand, but his left hind leg had no strength to support him, so we had to gently lay him down again for continued treatment with IV fluids and medication.

Now, Pure needs your love and support more than ever — to help him regain his strength and hopefully stand tall again. 🙏

Your donation will go toward:
• Medical treatment and medication
• Food and daily care
• Equipment and staff support

Please help give “Pure” another chance to stand and walk freely again.

🙏 Help Phiew Recover 🙏
On October 4th, our beloved elephant Phiew suddenly collapsed and couldn’t get up. We used an excavator to lift him and gave him IV fluids for two days. When his condition improved slightly, we brought him to the Elephant Hospital in Khok Kloi, Phang Nga for further treatment.

The veterinarians have been giving him IV fluids and pain medication, and thankfully, he is showing signs of improvement. However, his recovery will take time and continued care.

We truly appreciate any support or contribution to help Phiew receive the treatment he needs and return to a healthy, happy life.
Every little bit helps 💚

🌿 Our Elephant Sanctuary 🌿
A true home where elephants live happily — not a place to satisfy tourist demands.

At our sanctuary, we believe elephants deserve to live freely and naturally. We do not allow bathing, riding, or any forced interaction that goes against the will of the elephants. We respect their choices, their space, and their well-being above all else.

Visitors are welcome to observe elephants in their natural environment, learn about their lives, and support ethical elephant care — without pressure, force, or entertainment.

Because for us… the happiness of our elephants always comes first. 🐘💚

Why Our Elephant Sanctuary Is Ethical

At our sanctuary, we believe in treating elephants with love, respect, and dignity. We do not allow any activities that exploit or harm elephants.

❌ No elephant riding
❌ No shows or tricks
❌ No forced bathing or unnatural interactions

Instead, we offer a natural and peaceful environment where elephants can live freely and happily. Tourists are welcome to:

✅ Walk alongside the elephants
✅ Feed them their favorite food
✅ Observe their natural behavior
✅ Gently touch or interact only if the elephants come to you

Our elephants have lived with people for a long time. Some of them enjoy being close to humans, being gently petted, or simply receiving love—just like your pets at home. But we always let the elephants choose. We never force them to do anything they don’t want.

Our mission is simple: to give our elephants a happy life. The smiles of our elephants are our true profit. We’re also working on rescuing more elephants in the future, so they can live in safety and peace.

Thank you for supporting ethical elephant tourism.
