Our latest Rescue: Khun

Khun was rescued with the help of Planting Peace in January of 2025. Prior to her rescue she spent 11 years in a trekking camp in Pattaya.

She will never have to give a ride again and can enjoy her new found freedom and daily mud baths.

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 words 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 them or bathing them. We see positive changes in our elephants Malee and Kammoon's behaviour, without so many people surrounding them, they are completely free of stress.
Wild animals suffer a lifetime for the tourists entertainment.
