Our Gallery

Capturing moments of compassion, connection, and true sanctuary life. Everyday life with Somboon (48) and Nong Lek (41) across 17 acres of open land.

Every photo below comes from an actual visit, not a staged shoot — guests hand-feeding the herd across the rail, walking beside them through the open land, and watching from the bank as they take their bath.

Look for images from three parts of a typical visit: the feeding station, where guests hand-feed the elephants across the rail; the walk across open land, where Somboon and Nong Lek forage in their own time; and the pond, where they bathe and take their mud spa while guests watch from the bank. A handful of photos also show the sanctuary itself — the open land in Nong Chok, and the everyday routines that make up a normal day for the herd.

Want to see it in person?

Both of our programmes include the same close, unhurried time with Somboon and Nong Lek that you see here — feeding, walking, and watching from the bank as they bathe. See Programs & Prices for details, or head straight to booking. Either way, you will meet the same two elephants shown throughout this gallery, in the same setting, on the same land.
