Elephant Homes began as a single rescue in Phuket and grew, several years later, into a second sanctuary in the hills outside Chiang Mai. Different coastlines, different herds, the same promise to every elephant in our care: no chains for entertainment, no performances, no shortcuts. Pick the location that fits your trip — the standard doesn't change.
