Phuket Elephant Conservation
Siam Safari was the first company to start elephant trekking in Phuket in 1994. Once, an elephant became sick and a vet in Phuket treated it but, having no experience with elephants, he overdosed it and an expert elephant vet from Bangkok had to be flown down to save it. Thailand has very few vets experienced enough at working with elephants and if an elephant becomes very sick the only hospital is in Lamphang in Northern Thailand; at least two days' drive by 10-wheel truck from Phuket.
Mobile Elephant Clinic Project
Siam Safari contacted the Asian Elephant Foundation in Bangkok and asked if they had a mobile elephant clinic. At that time they did not so in 1995 Siam Safari donated 280,000 baht to the Foundation to help them set up a mobile elephant clinic. The clinic came to Phuket and was helpful but the clinic had to cover the whole country and did not come often and could not come immediately in the case of an emergency.
Siam Safari & Dusit Laguna - Joint Elephant Project
A project called 'Ivory belongs on elephants' was launched with the World Wildlife Fund. Schoolchildren checked all tourist shops in Phuket and if they were not selling any ivory products they were given a sticker saying 'Ivory Belongs on Elephants. No Ivory Sold Here.'Reflective elephant leg bands were purchased and given to elephant camps throughout Phuket so they could be seen at night on the road.
Siam Safari's Mobile Elephant Clinic Project
Siam Safari recruited its own specialist elephant vet Dr. Somchai to take care of its own elephants in Phuket and Surat Thani. Also, in his spare time Dr. Somchai has treated many elephants at other camps in Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi and Surat Thani.

Personal Response:
In my opinion,I think it's the best company that I have seen.They are Thais and want to conserve those elephants but we are Thais too.Why don't we interest this problem.Elephant is the symbol of Thailand.When foreign think of Thailand,they think of elephant.Because they think it's Thailand's heart.But now,you are ignoring your heart?
On the other hand, this is the way that Siam Safari is reminding Thai people to think about this problem.And i think it's the first step to the next best way.
