Bangkok
I only list elephant experiences that work on the animals’ terms: no riding, no shows, no tricks. The genuine sanctuaries within reach of Bangkok care for rescued working elephants; you feed and observe, they do the rest. Most sit two to three hours from the city, so treat it as a full day.
Traverse the lush mountains outside Bangkok and immerse yourself in the serene world of the Living Green Elephant Sanctuary, where you can connect with these magnificent creatures.
“Amazing time visiting the elephant sanctuary! Rescued elephants happily eat for most of the day with plenty of space and water for drinking and baths. Lunch was great.”
