Thailand elephants exists to bring further awareness and education to the elephant tourism industry, providing travelers with the knowledge to make informed decisions when wanting to see elephants in captivity. Their motto:

“Giving captive elephants a voice by encouraging people to ride a bike, not an elephant. Research. Educate. Protect.”
