There's no riding in our sanctuary
We are creating a harmonious space, where humans and elephants can share positive energies, feel relaxed and be happy.
Ran-Tong is devoted to preserving the future of abused and domestic elephants in Chiang Mai and across Thailand. Every elephant we rescue from hardship brings us closer to saving them from the brink of extinction, our goals are not only geared towards protection and prevention but also educating the public of the history of elephants in Thai culture.
Founded in 2009, Ran-Tong have Rescued over 40 elephants to date with the help of public generosity, support and private donation. In 2015 we opened a new sanctuary for young and abused older elephants. Providing them with a better quality of life, able to roam freely and experience true care and affection from countless elephant lovers.
Devoted to providing a better quality of life for Elephants, the founder and his family have never stopped rescuing more abused elephants. A short time afterwards “Thong In” an old elephant was the second to join the family and since then the elephant numbers have expanded beyond our expectations. Our passion continues to grow and educating the public about Asian Elephants in Chiang Mai is of great importance to us.
In 2009, we opened to the public. This allows us to continue to provide a safe haven for our elephants. Running and maintaining an elephant sanctuary is a costly activity, so the founders wanted to share their experiences with the public and the decision to run it as a business was necessary for the survival of the elephants ongoing care. Ran-Tong Save & Rescue Elephant Centre is small but is now one of the most well-known elephant camps in Chiang Mai and northern Thailand.
We strive to educate our visitors about the horrendous history of the elephants. Some tourists just want to take pictures with the elephants, but it is our mission is to inform them about what is behind caring for an elephant. To date, many people still abuse elephants to make financial gain!
