Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Pattaya
Located just 30 minutes from Pattaya beach road and under an hour from our luxury 5-star hotel in Pattaya, the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Pattaya is a sanctuary for rescued elephants that have been mistreated for a variety of reasons, from logging to tourism. It was founded in August 2018 in the Chiang Mai region as a result of the growing concerns about the local elephant population. With its success in the Chiang Mai camp, it expanded to other regions in Thailand, such as Pattaya, Phuket, and Koh Samui. It’s run by a dedicated team of professionals who aim to provide a total safe haven for elephants, where they can roam freely and bond with each other in their natural habitat. It offers a one-of-a-kind ethical, educational, and engaging experience with nature’s gentle giants.
