Once a dream now a reality

My name is Eddy, also known as the Elephant Man. My wife’s name is Naruemol, together we have a sixteen-year-old son, Teerapat, and a five-year-old daughter, Sirapatsorn.

After almost 20 years as a guide and many years of beautiful work with elephants, my family and I fulfilled our dream and rescued two elephants, “Tomato” and “Papaya”. With this event, we founded the Elephant Sanctuary Care Park in 2017.

We look forward to your visit and sharing the love of elephants with you.
