Open zone at Samui Elephant Home

Samui Elephant Home provides a secure and happy environment for elephants who have worked long hours in the logging industry or have been rescued from commercial ill-treatment.

We now have an open zone where everyone can participate in caring for elephants with us.
Our next goal is to establish the first elephant clinic on Koh Samui. To accomplish this aim we need to attract highly qualified personnel and increasing our budget.

We have started two new activities for everyone to enjoy and experience the beauty and tranquility of elephants.
We want you to have a long-lasting memorable experience with these wonderful and gentle creatures.
Our primary focus is to help in conserving elephants. Come and visit us at Samui Elephant Home and spend close-up and personal time with these gentle giants.

 

Activities available in the open zone

Everyone can take part in our open zone where we pamper and feed elephants who have suffered and endured long working hours and physical and mental abuse.
What they need now are kindness and love. We provide vitamins and food supplements to promote their health. Our activities include the following two packages.

2. Vitamins food package

Samui Elephant Home has grown crops especially for our elephants as beneficial food.
We prefer not to buy food from outside to limit the risk of pesticides or unsuitable contaminants which can be fatal to elephants.
Our food package consists of three crops as bananas, sugarcane and grass.

 

Bananas

Bananas help to control body temperature 
and they are also rich in numerous vitamins 
such as vitamin B6, B12 and vitamin C

Sugarcane

Sugarcane reduces body temperature, 
relieves thirst and promotes healthy excretion

Grass

Grass is rich in calcium 
and proteins to strengthen muscles 
and nourish the eyes for keen vision

The cost is only 300 baht for these three crops

Note: This package does not include hotel transfer.
We welcome guests to organize their own transport to visit Samui Elephant Home (open zone).
Come and feed our elephants.
