Urgent appeal for help
As Thailand is on lockdown, the tourist industry has completely shut down.
This unfortunately means zero income for most elephant sanctuaries, parks & camps.
We are doing our best to continue taking the best care of our elephants, but we need to ask for your help, our supporters from around the world.
More people are looking to spend their holidays in an ethically responsible one that has respect for nature, animals and the local culture.
The focus here at Somboon Legacy Foundation is exactly that.
Not only do we care about the wellness of the elephants, but also about the wellness of you!
We are a non-profit hands-off elephants’ sanctuary, located 25 km outside of the city of Kanchanaburi and 134 km from Bangkok. We care for old, ill, handicapped and rescued elephants.
We are proud to act on our words: Elephants are not used for our entertainment, we respect them and treat them with the care they deserve.
Discover Somboon Legacy Foundation
Visit us and explore this unique non-profit hands-off sanctuary and our one of a kind interactive museum for young and old.
Our elephants walk freely in nature, grazing as they would in the wild, foraging on greens in this lush tropical environment. They are not forced to participate in any activities that could cause stress to them.
Observe and learn about our elephants, their history and help us preserve their legacy. Today, Thailand’s wild & captive elephant populations are struggling and they need your help. Our goal is to educate and inspire our guests to develop a true respect for the worlds' biggest land mammal & our planet.
The time to help these animals is running out; we have to join forces to take care of wildlife for your children and grandchildren, so they can have the same experience in the future as you will have here. Be an example for the rest of the world by enjoying captive elephants in an ethical way.
Join us on this exciting journey, let elephants simply be... elephants
Visit Somboon Legacy Foundation and The Legacy River Kwai Resort and spend your holidays in a peaceful environment, that respects and cares for elephants.
