Welcome to the Home Where Elephants Rest —Not Perform.
“Tucked away in the peaceful forest behind Patong Beach, Hill Tribe Elephant Village is a final home for elephants retired from the tourism industry. Here, they live freely—no riding, no bathing, no chains—only care, respect, and love. Run by a hill tribe family with generations of elephant wisdom, our village invites you to experience the true connection between humans and elephants through slow, ethical travel.”
