Pon Elephant Thailand
Pon Elephant Thailand offers ethical elephant experiences in Mae Wang, Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand. Founded by Ms. Supin Achanhan (Mae Pin), whose family has cared for elephants for generations, this sanctuary was created with love and responsibility. After the logging industry closed in 1964 and later during COVID, the family faced many challenges. Instead of giving up, they opened their home to visitors so people could learn about and support elephant care. Today, Pon Elephant Thailand provides a safe and natural 30-acre home for elephants. It is not just a tourist spot, but a meaningful place where visitors can understand elephant history, conservation, and local culture in a caring environment.
