Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is the first and only ethical elephant sanctuary in Phuket where elephants roam around, bathe and sozialize freely across 30 acres of lush, tropical land bordering the Khao Phra Thaeo National Park in North East Phuket. We buy all rescued elephants to ensure that Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is their final home, and we offer professional veterinary care for old and injured elephants. By visiting us, you are supporting a sustainable, ethical and compassionate approach to elephant tourism where elephants have the freedom to live naturally. National Geographic, Lonely Planet and The Guardian have all endorsed our ethical approach.

What To Expect

1

A morning with the elephants is an eye-opening and inspiring experience. Following a scenic drive along a local village you will arrive at Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, a picturesque jungle dotted with ponds, wide open fields and hillsides for the elephants to roam around. Your visit starts at our Tree Top Lounge, where we will show you a presentation and educational video to prepare you for your encounter with the elephants, and to help you understand why they need to be protected. We then follow them down into the jungle. By keeping a safe distance and watching them from our Observation Salas, the elephants have the freedom to express their natural behavior, from bathing and playing in our pond to socializing with each other. The program ends with a delicious Thai vegetarian meal.

    Getting to feed the elephants and walk around with them was a really unique experience. You can tell the elephants are treated well and that the mission of the sanctuary is being upheld. The lunch buffet was really good.

  • It’s a bit pricey, but...

    It’s a bit pricey, but well worth it knowing your money is going to a program that truly takes care of its elephants.

    Amazing and a must-do excursion for the whole family. The sanctuary is a true home for the rescued elephants. This was an experience of a lifetime. We enjoyed it so much we are planning to visit the sanctuary in Chiang Mai as well. More than anything the story of how it began is touching and makes my heart warm.
