Pickup Pranburi: Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand Full-Day Visit

Support Wildlife Conservation During An Inspiring Full Day Visit To The Thailand Refuge

Meet your driver at your accommodation in Hua Hin, Cha-Am, Pran Buri or Phetchaburi and drive to the Wildlife Friends Foundation in Phetchaburi. When you arrive, meet and greet your guide for the day. Follow an informed guided tour around all areas of the center as you see some of the rescued animals, hear their stories, and learn why they are living at the center. This educational experience highlights the critical work being done to protect and rehabilitate animals in need.

At noon, enjoy lunch and refreshments including a Thai buffet looking over the large multi-species enclosure with elephants, gibbons, and other animals. The various meal options consist of vegan, vegetarian, and meat. After lunch, meet and feed one of the elephants. See how the volunteers at the elephant refuge go about their daily tasks. Learn about the elephant’s individual stories and personalities, gaining a deeper understanding of the complex social lives these majestic creatures lead when they are provided with proper care.

Find out about the conservation issues that elephants face, and how they are exploited by tourist attractions, forced to carry lots of people and perform tricks. You will see none of this at the elephant refuge, where the elephant's natural behavior is of paramount importance. The center serves as a sanctuary where animals can live in peace, away from the pressures of commercial exploitation, allowing visitors to observe them in a respectful and ethical environment that prioritizes their long-term well-being.

Finally, drive around the whole site and get to see the bears and monkeys enjoying their meal before the tour ends at approximately 3:30 PM. This visit provides a unique opportunity to contribute to wildlife conservation while enjoying a day in nature. By supporting the Wildlife Friends Foundation, you are helping to ensure a brighter future for rescued animals in Thailand. It is a rewarding experience that leaves a lasting impact on all who participate in this meaningful and educational journey.
