Pattaya Elephant Village

The Elephant Village was opened in 1973 as a sanctuary for former working elephants.
These elephants, through reasons of injury or ill health, can no longer be used as a part of the backbone of heavy work in the jungles of Thailand.

Also because of their diminishing habitat, it is now longer possible to return them to the wild.

The Elephant Village provides then magnificent creatures with a safe haven, where they may live out their lives with dignity and freedom from fear.

A visit to the Elephant Village is not only unique experience, but it is also a lifesaver because the fees paid by our visitors contribute to, the very survival of the elephants, both now and in the future.

The Elephant Village is a private company, which is run on a non‑profit making basis and after running expenses have been deducted, all of the proceeds go to feed, pay the medical bills and generally take care of the elephants.
It receives neither government support nor sponsorship from any large company or international organization.
