Introduction
We are more than just an elephant sanctuary — this is a family, a refuge, and a voice for elephants who deserve a second chance at life.
Our sanctuary is located on Koh Lanta, Krabi, Thailand. We were once part of the traditional elephant tourism industry, but today, we have transformed completely into a sanctuary dedicated to ethical and sustainable tourism.
Our goal is simple yet powerful: to ensure elephants live safely, with dignity, and receive the care they truly deserve.
Why We Do This
In Thailand, many elephants still live in poor conditions — overworked, underfed, and without freedom.
We may not be able to change every elephant’s past, but we believe we can make today and tomorrow better.
We care for each elephant with love and deep respect for their nature, because every elephant has a story, a wound, and a unique personality.
We support them by:
- Providing a safe and natural environment
- Supplying quality food and medical care
- Supporting experienced mahouts who truly bond with the elephants
- Educating visitors about ethical and conservation-focused tourism
The Truth About Money and Elephant Care
Some people misunderstand and think sanctuaries like ours exist only for profit.
But the truth is — money is essential for the survival of the elephants.
Not for profit, but to feed them, care for their health, pay dedicated staff, and allow the sanctuary to operate ethically.
Our Promise
At Big and Cute, we are deeply committed to being part of the solution by:
- Ending the cycle of elephant exploitation
- Creating a safe space where elephants can live with quality of life
- Inspiring tourists to choose kindness over entertainment
- Operating with transparency, responsibility, and continuous improvement
This is not just a “camp” — this is a home.
It is a movement, and a lifelong mission to protect Thailand’s elephants.
Thank you for supporting us — and thank you for helping care for them.
We are very proud to be services
