For many elephants in Thailand, life is anything but gentle. Some spend their whole lives hauling heavy logs through forests, day after day, while others endure the harshness of being entertainers, being bathed, ridden, or made to perform under the most cruel conditions. Despite their strength, these gentle animals often suffer unimaginably under brutal training methods, with little chance to rest, socialise, or simply be themselves.
With the support of your adoption, elephants like Mae Dok, Mae Mayura, and Kammoon can find sanctuary and begin to heal from their traumatic pasts.

Born in 1989, Mae Mayura worked for years in the logging industry. It was Mae Mayura’s “job” to drag heavy loads of logs through the forests.

Kammoon was born in northeast Thailand and spent much of her early life trained to beg on the streets.

Adopting an elephant gives these incredible animals a real chance to heal from the cruelty they’ve endured in the logging or tourism industry.
Your support helps provide nourishing food, essential medical care, and a safe, protected environment where they can recover and thrive. It also gives elephants the freedom to express natural behaviours, form social bonds, and enjoy a life without fear or exploitation.
Every adoption directly improves their well-being and helps these gentle giants look forward to a brighter, happier future.
Thank you.
