Hua Hin: Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand Full-Day Visit

Embark on a meaningful day trip to the Wildlife Friends Foundation in Phetchaburi, where compassion, conservation, and education come together. Your journey begins with a comfortable transfer from your hotel in Hua Hin, Cha-Am, Pran Buri, or Phetchaburi, leading you to one of Thailand’s most respected wildlife rescue centers. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by your knowledgeable guide, who will take you on an insightful tour around the sanctuary. As you explore, you’ll meet a variety of rescued animals — from elephants and gibbons to monkeys and bears — each with a unique and moving story of survival. Learn about the foundation’s vital mission to protect these animals from exploitation and provide them with a safe, natural environment where they can thrive. Witness firsthand how dedicated caretakers and volunteers work tirelessly to rehabilitate the animals and raise awareness about ethical wildlife tourism and conservation.

At midday, relax and enjoy a traditional Thai buffet lunch overlooking a large multi-species enclosure, where elephants and other animals roam freely. Choose from a selection of vegan, vegetarian, and meat options while taking in the serene surroundings. After lunch, experience a heartwarming encounter as you help feed an elephant and learn about their personalities and daily routines. Discover the challenges elephants face in captivity and how this sanctuary ensures their welfare and freedom. Before the day concludes, you’ll take a scenic drive through the sanctuary to observe bears and monkeys enjoying their meals. As the afternoon winds down, your tour ends with a return transfer to your accommodation — leaving you with a deeper appreciation for wildlife conservation and the importance of protecting Thailand’s incredible animal heritage.
