Our Story

Chokchai Elephant Camp was established in January 2006 by Mr. Chokchai Srisirivilai, known as Eddie, in partnership with Ms. Thanika Nairuethai. Eddies deep love for animals, particularly elephants, fueled his initiative to create a haven for these magnificent creatures. Initially supported by a friend who loaned him elephants, Eddies passion was to ensure their well-being. He was committed to providing a sanctuary where elephants could thrive without the hardships of labor, such as wood logging. His devotion extended to wanting the elephants under his care to enjoy a quality of life reminiscent of pre-pandemic times. Not only did Eddie cherish the elephants, but he also earned admiration and respect from those around him, including the workers in his vicinity.
