It brings me immense joy to learn of your interest in elephants and their well-being. They are truly magnificent creatures deserving of our love and care. Allow me to introduce myself, my team, and my Elephant Rehabilitation Center.
Owned and managed by a former elephant rider (Mahout), while We was established in 2012, my family's involvement with elephants spans over four generations. Before the center, I worked as an elephant rider at the Amber Palace for nine years, providing riding tours to tourists. However, I yearned for something more meaningful for the elephants and sought to dispel misconceptions about their treatment.
Driven by this desire, I founded the Rehabilitation Center to provide insight into the lives of Asian elephants and to counter misconceptions about their mistreatment. We welcome visitors to experience our eco-friendly living conditions firsthand and witness the work we do to give elephants a better life.

We had a wonderful experience at Elefantastic. We got to spend time with one beautiful gentle elephant and really enjoyed our visit and will never forget the experience. We were a little disappointed we only got to meet one elephant after being told the sanctuary have 24 elephants but we loved the time we spent with the elephant we did meet. The experience started with being picked up and traveling in comfort to the location which is in lovely grounds. We got to feed and stroke and then paint the elephant before walking with her to give her a bath with a large bowl and hosepipe. She really enjoyed her bath! We then walked with her before it was time to leave. We had been poorly so didn't visit the family for lunch.

A really nice time. The elephants were charming and surprisingly emotive. Our daughter’s initial anxiety at being so close to these huge beasts lasted all of 3 minutes - as she quickly came to regard them as more teddy bear than monster. Feeding, and helping to bathe, the elephants admitted of lots of opportunities for eye contact (which the sanctuary personnel encouraged). Once you’ve looked into the eyes of an elephant, you’ll never regard them as ‘mere’ animals again.

I had a great day at Elefantastic. I had never seen an elephant up close before: It was a fantastic experience and great privilege being able to feed the elephant cucumbers and greens and walk alongside her. Such beautiful creatures!
