ABOUT

New Elephant Home is an upcoming ethical elephant sanctuary project in Chiang Mai, Thailand that transformed itself in 2020 from what was previously an elephant entertainment camp. With the support of Lek Chailert, from Elephant Nature Park and Save Elephant Foundation, we have been working hard to give our elephants a more dignified life. Today, they roam freely in our spacious land without needing to undertake any hard labor.

16 Elephants

22,400 Sqm

10 Mahouts

No Riding, No Show

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR OUR DEAR SUPPORTERS

A New Beginning of New Elephant Home

Gofundme (Donation)

Please help New Elephant Home raise the money to build chain-free night shelters for their 16 elephants.

New Elephant Home is transitioning to an ethical sanctuary where former show elephants can now live a happy life free from abuse. In the past, the elephants were forced to perform tricks or were used for riding but all of this has changed. The young management team started the sanctuary last year and needs your support to build the shelters so that the elephants have a safe place at night to sleep in without being chained.

We got the opportunity to use their traditional clothes during our visit. We had to prepare the snacks for the elephants and started to feed them. Then we went for a walk with the keepers and a really kind elephant called “little”. You can see that the elephants are very happy to be there and the staff is doing their best for them. After meeting the elephants we visited the long neck village in this camp. Due to the good English of our really friendly guide we were able to had a conversation about the history and vision of the New elephants home and got a lot of insights in the culture of long neck village. We had a lot of fun and can really recommend it, totally worth the money!

Tolle, freundliche und sehr bemühte Angestellte. Wer Elefanten streicheln, füttern, waschen und  tierquälerei vermeiden will, der ist hier genau richtig. Eine absolute Empfehlung!
