Boon Lott's Elephant Sanctuary
Katherine Connor founded Boon Lott's Elephant Sanctuary - BLES in 2006, determined to offer retirement to working elephants in Thailand. Located in the rural village of Baan Na Ton Chan, BLES offers its family of elephants 750 acres of lush, dense forest in which they spend their days roaming, swimming, foraging and socializing. BLES urges travellers to skip the shows, performances and rides during their next trip to Asia and support ethical elephant experiences instead.
