Our latest Rescue: Boon Mee

Boon Mee was rescued with the help of Planting Peace on the 26th of December 2025. She was the first elephant to move to our new land in Sai Yok.

She was a trekking elephant in Pattaya, but her owner decided to retire and wanted the best for her: a true sanctuary where she could just be an elephant again.

Elephants are tourist magnets

These gentle giants are on everybody's bucket list when they visit Thailand.

Hands OFF Elephants Sanctuary

Our team has seen the abuse elephants endure in places that call themselves sanctuaries, where they mislead unknowing tourists with phrases such as 'animal friendly' and 'rescue center'.

We decided enough is enough, it's time to make a real change.

The idea was born to create a sanctuary that is a truly safe haven for elephants, where these social mammals can interact and behave naturally.

We are a non-profit hands-off elephants sanctuary, located 25 km outside of the city of Kanchanaburi and 134 km from Bangkok, Thailand. Our foundation cares for old elephants.


It's high time to boost ethical wildlife tourism

Discover Somboon Legacy Foundation
Every day our elephants roam freely without a schedule. There are no visitors feeding or bathing them. We have seen positive changes in their behaviour; without so many people surrounding them, the elephants are completely free of stress.
