The Elephant Dream Project offers a great opportunity to learn about the natural behavior of elephants, delve into the history of elephants in Thailand, and explore the Karen culture. In addition to discovering why they are renowned for their role as elephant caretakers, participants will have the chance to create herbal medicine for the elephants

Our project aims to help keep the elephants of northern Thailand in their natural habitat. We have lived with elephants for generations. Before the pandemic, our elephants were supported through tourism income. However, after the effects of the pandemic, all of our elephants were returned to the village. We love having the elephants back in their natural habitat, but this comes at a cost. The forest only thrives during the rainy season, and there isn’t enough land for these elephants to thrive. At Elephant Dream Project, we aim to provide them with the best life possible by keeping them in their natural habitat without forcing them to comply with tourism schemes. The elephants stay with their family groups and are taken care of daily by their mahouts. Our elephants thrive living in their natural environment and have a much better life than others involved in the tourism industry.

With every visit to our Elephant Dream Project, you are helping us let our elephants have the happy and free lives they deserve. We hope that as more people visit our project, we can bring more and more elephants back home from the cities, living as nature intended.

The aim of our project is to inspire other elephant keepers to start the same eco-tourism schemes as ourselves and keep the elephants in their natural habitat with the best life possible. This will benefit the conservation of the Asian elephant species and keep their numbers thriving in the Northern Thailand area.

At Elephant Dream Project, we live by the pyramid of happiness and believe that for an establishment to sustainably succeed, the focus should be on the elephants, their caretakers, and the communities that surround them.

We aim to educate you so that, in turn, we can all empower the local community together.
