Nestled just outside Kanchanaburi, ElephantsWorld is a sanctuary dedicated to rescuing elephants from all over Thailand. Dr. Samart and his wife Khun Fon, a veterinarian from the region, founded our sanctuary in 2008. Their goal was to provide a safe haven for old, abused, and disabled elephants.

Each elephant at ElephantsWorld has a unique story. Many come from challenging backgrounds like the logging industry or trekking camps. Some even endured a life begging on the streets. Sadly, these experiences harmed their health and happiness. Therefore, Dr. Samart and Khun Fon created ElephantsWorld to give these magnificent creatures a peaceful life and the care they deserve.
