History
Elephant sanctuaries in Thailand arose from shifts away from logging and trekking industries toward welfare-focused tourism; many sites now prioritize rehabilitation and education.
Conservation
Programs emphasize limited-contact, enrichment-based care and encourage guests to support non-riding, welfare-first elephant experiences to reduce demand for exploitative practices.
