Elephant Volunteering Thailand

Escape the matrix, come to Kanchanaburi, and live with elephants! These beautiful creatures were captured at a young age, separated from their family and forced to learn tricks to perform to tourists. Joining us helps fund their rescue, and pay for their food and health care. Your responsibility while you are with us is to love and care for the elephants. They each have unique personalities and personal preferences. You will be preparing their meals, feeding them, joining them on their jungle treks plus much more.

Want to stay for longer? The more weeks you add, the cheaper the cost!

Welcome to the Elephant Camp!

Get yourself settled into your new home on the river, at the elephant camp. We will have an introduction so you can meet the people you'll be living and volunteering with and find out what you'll be doing at the camp. We'll go over the safety rules, and make sure you're settled in properly. Today we'll be preparing and feeding giant sticky rice balls (tasty!). Straight after their breakfast, they like to trek through the jungle to find a mud bath. It's a messy affair but you'll learn to love it.
