Description

Experience ethical elephant encounters at Living Green Elephant Sanctuary, located just 45 mins from Pattaya in the scenic mountains of Chonburi. This 40-acre sanctuary offers a peaceful home for rescued elephants, where you can observe, feed, and interact with them in their natural environment. Your visit begins with changing into traditional Mo Hom clothing before meeting the elephants. Watch them roam freely, forage naturally, and bathe in the water, while knowledgeable guides share their individual stories and insights into elephant conservation. The sanctuary operates with a strict no-riding, no-chains, and no-performances policy focusing entirely on animal welfare and natural behavior. The experience includes hand-feeding the elephants, walking alongside them through forest paths, and observing their social interactions. You may also join them in the water as they bathe and play naturally one of the most memorable parts of the day. See them roll in the mud to cool off and protect their skin, then relax in shaded seating areas with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, while enjoying freshly prepared Ancient Pad Thai made with local ingredients. Transportation is provided from hotels in Pattaya, and nearby areas. Choose from two sessions: a morning program (07:45–14:30) or an afternoon program (11:45–18:30).
