Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary

In collaboration with local Karen communities, we work towards sustainable solutions that benefit both people and wildlife. Alongside improving elephant welfare, we focus on protecting habitats and promoting biodiversity for a healthier environment for all. Upholding ethical and legal standards, we are fully licensed with all necessary Thai permits and certified by the Livestock Department under the GAP program, guaranteeing responsible and high-quality animal care. To respect the elephants’ space and ensure safety, we do not allow physical interaction between visitors and elephants.

We are a Non-Profit Foundation who are dedicated to giving our elephants the best life possible with the help of our visitors and volunteers. Our aim is to bring elephants home to the forest by working with the local communities to not only provide a haven for our elephants, but also provide an alternative livelihood for their mahouts and owners.

We brought these wonderful creatures back to their natural environment where they are living in semi-wild conditions, free to roam as much as possible and live their lives how they choose - interacting and foraging. We plan to bring elephants of all ages and sizes home to the forest, but we need your help.
