🐘 Thank you to everyone helping us create a future where elephants are free, respected, and deeply valued.

It is not a big secret that I love Thailand. I have visited this beautiful country several times, and have explored its beauty from Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai in the north to Phuket and the islands in the south.

Thank you for visiting the Elephant Freedom Project on June 27, 2025.
Your presence here was more than just a visit—it was a powerful statement of support for a better future for elephants in Chiang Mai. By choosing ethical, hands-off tourism, you’ve helped reshape the way the world views and interacts with these magnificent creatures—not as entertainers, but as sentient beings with deep emotions, intelligence, and a right to live freely.

Your choice to observe, rather than interact physically, is an act of respect that speaks volumes. Every moment you spent watching, learning, and appreciating the elephants in their natural rhythm helped reinforce a growing global movement based on compassion, not exploitation.

We hope your time with us brought peace to your heart, inspiration to your spirit, and a newfound connection with these gentle giants. The memories you created are now part of something much bigger—a community of people who believe in protecting and honoring elephants for generations to come.

You are now a cherished part of our journey, and we look forward to the day you return to witness more moments of healing, freedom, and joy. 🐘❤️

🌟 Guest Review:
Incredible Experience!
“This was an incredible experience being so hands on with the elephants. Boo the tour guide was so helpful and knowledgeable about the Elephants.

In the morning we prepared their food and fed them, went for a walk with them. In the afternoon we prepared more food and went swimming with them. Such an unforgettable experience and it felt so well organised and like you’re looked after and cared for.

Everything about it was excellent and I’d recommend it to anyone.”

💬 Our Response:
สวัสดีค่ะ (Sawasdee ka)

Thank you so much for your glowing review and for sharing such meaningful words about your visit to the Elephant Freedom Project. We're so happy to hear that you had an unforgettable time with our rescued elephants and found the experience to be well-organized and full of heart.

Boo will be thrilled to know that his care and knowledge helped make your day even more special. Preparing food, walking alongside the elephants, and joining them for a swim—all in one day—truly reflects the spirit of our hands-off, ethical approach.

We're grateful you took the time to connect so deeply with the elephants, and even more thankful for your recommendation. It means the world to us and helps support our mission to provide a peaceful, respectful home for these gentle giants.

ขอบคุณมากค่ะ (Khob khun mak ka)
