Responsible Traveler Program
A deeper, longer stay for those who want to truly connect with the life in the sanctuary.
Spend an extended period at Somboon and experience what life at an ethical elephant sanctuary is really like.
This program offers a more immersive way to understand elephant care, by being present in the daily routines that support their wellbeing. From preparing food to helping maintain the natural environment, each day brings a new perspective on responsible tourism and ethical practices.
This is not a typical travel experience. It requires adaptability, curiosity, and a genuine interest in being part of a slower, more intentional way of living.
Minimum stay: 1 month
Price: 15,000 THB per month
