She was one of the most serene and gentle elephant cows imaginable. Pheung Wan spent nine happy years with us at the foundation and brought a smile to the face of everyone lucky enough to meet her.

She loved having her tongue stroked and also enjoyed spending time on the scratching post. While she liked bananas, she didn't care for tomatoes and always spat them out. She also thoroughly enjoyed her special face and hip massages.

Thai elephants: Donations are used to buy fruit for the elephants, book bathing sessions, and arrange walks. In short: The elephants here don't just sit around waiting for donations; they reciprocate by working in exchange for food.

There are many activities to enjoy here, such as bathing the baby elephants, who are cared for nearby by their mahouts. After their bath, the elephants are fed fruits like bananas and sugarcane. Alternatively, you can ride the elephants and explore the forests and beautiful natural surroundings of the Hua Hin district.

The approximately 15 employees here are all Thai. They care for the elephants and also look after tourists, for example as elephant guides on forest tours. The remaining employees carry out the daily tasks of the Hasdin Elephant Foundation.

The elephants you see here are very well cared for by the foundation, whether with food or medicine. Hasdin Elephant Camp or Hasdin Elephant Foundation
