Who are we ?

Joy Elephant Sanctuary, located in Chiang Mai, Thailand, was established with the vision of fostering a bonding relationship between humans, elephants, and nature. Founded as a joint initiative between a Karen Hill Tribe and a group of enthusiastic individuals who wish to see the Elephants being treated with Joy, Love & Care.

An Observation Learning

Our goal is to create an environment where visitors can learn and understand the lives of elephants through observation. Here, elephants can be themselves, freely expressing their personalities and remarkable intelligence.

The Ethical Environment

Surrounded by forests and flowing rivers, our sanctuary is an ideal habitat for elephants. We ensure the well-being of the Elephants by having year-round food supply & opportunities for visitors to help grow food for them.

Support Local

Activities benefit elephants, locals, and visitors by supporting the community & promoting sustainable farming practices. This also creates job opportunities and provides locals with knowledge for a better quality of life.

“ Elephant's joy is our joy ”
