This experience goes beyond a typical animal visit, offering an educational journey through one of Thailand’s major wildlife rescue projects.
Explore the Wildlife Rescue Centre, Wildlife Hospital, Elephant Refuge, Ape Rescue Centre, and Big Cat Rescue Centre while learning the individual rescue stories of the animals and WFFT’s work in wildlife conservation and animal welfare.
At the Elephant Refuge, the experience follows a protected-contact approach. Guests remain in a protected viewing area while the elephants are free to approach or move away, allowing them greater choice and freedom.
The experience focuses on responsible wildlife observation, conservation education, and rescued animal welfare, with no elephant riding, animal shows, or forced interaction.
Your visit also directly supports WFFT’s ongoing rescue and care of animals in need.
