One of the best places in Thailand to understand elephants! With total respect for the animal! At this foundation, the care, attention, and love given to animals is true and incomparable. If you choose to learn more about them, this is definitely where you would have the best experience! The elephants are free, the place is sumptuous, natural, enchanted by the Kway river, and the activities are very interesting ! Great respect and thank you to the whole team working for this magnificent, ethics and noble project ! ️

This is by leaps and bounds the best place to ethically see elephants in Thailand!
Somboon legacy is easily the best place in Thailand to really learn about ethical elephant treatment. The founders of the foundation care so much, and the elephants on site are amazing to watch (not touch!!!). The museum they built is amazing with so much interactive material for adults as well as children. They even make their own paper out of elephant poo it’s incredible! I will I could have spent more time there! Recommend 100%
I highly recommend this place. Somboon foundation is a responsible and ethical elephant sanctuary. We stayed enough time to understand their approach of giving the elephants a place where they can behave freely and without stress. At Somboon you can see the elephants walking free, taking a bath in the river and interacting with their mahouts. You can not touch the elephant an not go closer than 20m, at the beginning we were sad about the rule, but later we understood that is for the elephants well being. When you understand this, a chip in your head changes automatically and you understand the negative effect that tourism can cause to the wildlife. Very recommended!! Also the place is absolutely beautiful!
Stayed at the resort in which the foundation is located. It's an absolute getaway from the daily stress. The elephant package is worth every Baht (which is spend on a good cause). The elephants are well cared for and it shows. Our volunteer tour guides were well educated about the elephants and foundation and kept the tour fun and relaxed; Nothing felt forced and guests along with guides enjoyed a superb interactive adventure together. Best part perhaps is that they do keep their promises and that's to keep hands off of the 2 majestic ladies and let them roam where they are safe. 10/10 would roll them herb balls again.
