Elephant Hills Recognized by Forbes Travel Guide’s 2025 “The Edge List”

30 August 2026

In 2025, Elephant Hills was proudly recognized by Forbes Travel Guide on The Edge List in the Animal Encounters category. The list celebrates exceptional wildlife experiences from around the world that combine meaningful encounters with responsible tourism, high standards of animal welfare, and world-class hospitality.

This recognition reflects the philosophy that has always been at the heart of Elephant Hills: Ethical Elephant Care. We believe that truly memorable wildlife experiences begin with respect for the animals. Rather than influencing their natural behavior, our approach allows elephants to live as naturally as possible while giving guests the opportunity to learn about and appreciate these magnificent animals in a responsible way.

AT Elephant hills , guests are invited to observe elephants in their natural environment, gaining a deeper understanding of their behavior, welfare, and the importance of long-term conservation. Every experience is thoughtfully designed to place the wellbeing of the elephants first while creating meaningful connections between people, wildlife, and nature.

Being included on Forbes Travel Guide’s The Edge List is not only an honor for Elephant Hills but also a recognition that ethical elephant care and responsible tourism can create extraordinary guest experiences. It reinforces our commitment to setting the benchmark for ethical wildlife encounters in Thailand and inspiring travelers to experience elephants with respect, compassion, and understanding.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our guests, travel partners, and dedicated team for making this achievement possible. Your continued trust and support inspire us to continue protecting what matters most—our elephants, the rainforest they call home, and the unforgettable experiences that connect people with nature.
