Elephant Retirement Park

OUR STORY

Elephant Retirement Park
Chiang Mai, Thailand

Money received from guest visits, volunteers, merchandise sales and donations is used in the following ways: - Primarily used for the elephant’s home, food, veterinary care, rescue, infrastructure and land so we can constantly be growing and expanding the capacity of our sanctuary (park) to be able to receive more rescued elephants.

Some of the money is designated to compensate the local people and owners of the elephants so that they allow us to care for them, instead of making the elephants work.
Any remaining income is saved so in the future we can buy our own land and rescue more elephants so they can live with us for many years, and be happy at the Elephant Retirement Park Chiang Mai
