The $10/day contribution covers your sleeping area and accommodation, plus breakfast + 3 meals per day. Breakfast includes basic items like peanut butter, bread, eggs and jelly, and also essential supplies (toilet paper, etc.). We are a non-profit, and this fee helps support daily operations. Since April 1st we moved and are rebuilding from zero, it also helps cover transport (taxi/boat) between house and the elephant park.

βSpent a month volunteering at the shelterβa deeply rewarding experience, though prospective volunteers should know what to expect. βHighlights: Unforgettable time with the elephants (guiding tours & watching them), wonderful volunteer group, and delicious fresh Thai food daily. βDrawbacks: Basic lodging with severe dampness/mold (affecting clothes). Management was unsupportive and dismissed our concerns regarding unexplained pricing discrepancies. βVerdict: An incredible experience with the animalsβjust bring a self-sufficient mindset
