At Elephant Eco Trails, we are dedicated to giving back to our local communities by donating a portion of our profits to local charities that work tirelessly to protect wildlife, animals, human rights, and uplift the lives of those in need. Please continue reading to find out about the two local organisations that we are partnering with. Each month, we are committed to donating a portion of our profits to both THR5VE and Hand To Paw, both local charities that do incredible work in our local community.
HAND TO PAW
In Thailand, street dogs face immense challenges - disease, hunger, neglect, and abuse. Since 2009, Hand to Paw has been on the frontlines, providing daily medical care to street and temple dogs who would otherwise have no help. With their Rescue Rocket (a cute little motorbike and sidecar), they respond to emergencies, taking injured and sick dogs to clinics and fundraising to cover treatments.
Each year, they sterilise over 2,500 cats and dogs and vaccinate over 1,500 dogs against deadly viruses like Distemper and Parvo, running free spay and vaccination clinics throughout Chiang Mai province.
They also tackle hard-to-reach cases, reducing dog populations and preventing poisonings. Education is at the heart of their mission - teaching villagers responsible pet care and guiding children on how to safely and kindly interact with dogs. Hand to Paw continues to grow each year, turning misery into miracles for countless street dogs and we are proud to partner with them!

THR5VE
Thriving communities aren’t just an ideal - they’re achievable. Helping moms give birth safely, building peace, and installing solar energy are just a few steps toward that reality. Yet, for many, these basic resources remain out of reach. In 2023, 114 million people were displaced by conflict or war, including 3 million in Myanmar.
THR5VE works directly with displaced people in Myanmar and Thailand, offering innovative solutions to the challenges they face. By supporting THR5VE, we are helping to strengthen communities at the local level. For this reason, we are so proud to partner with them.
฿200 provides an emergency kit when disaster strikes.
฿500 funds components for an off-grid solar power system.
฿1,000 provides displaced people with 31 kilograms of rice.
฿2,800 equips a displaced family with a birth kit containing essential birthing supplies and educational resources.
