Frequently asked questions

Elephant Kingdom is a sanctuary where elephants are free from chains and hard labor. They can roam around freely, but they are not to be played with. The mission is to rescue as many elephants as possible to help the sanctuary grow and form a larger herd.

Children will love interacting with the elephants and helping to feed them. It's important to teach them early on that elephants belong in their natural habitat. Children under 5 can join for free with a paying adult.

We are open year round, rain or sunshine. The elephants enjoy the rain as well. Our doors are open regardless of the weather conditions, and we provide raincoats and umbrellas if needed. Visiting Elephant Kingdom on a rainy day has its own unique charm!

We booked the Elephant Kingdom Samui in March 2025 and had an excellent experience. The program is outstanding with a strong focus on the well-being of the elephants. The facility itself is well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, attention given to the elephants is truly commendable. I highly recommend Elephant Kingdom Samui for anyone looking for an unforgettable and ethical elephant encounter.

The Elephants are well looked after!!

A wonderful day, where we've learned a lot about elephants and how they naturally live. Also that Mahoots are shouldn't be seen as a bad part of an elephant, instead to see them as their protector, partner and parent. The elephants are in a good mood and everything was ethically correct. You walk the skywalk to have the needed distance and don't tease the animals. They were not forced to get in touch with you. İf an elephant wasn't interested in people, they left and played other where.
