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.

Elephants are treated well and are very well looked after. The guides are very well informed and, overall, a very well organised event.
Outstanding experience.

Visiting this elephant sanctuary was one of the most moving and meaningful experiences of my travels. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this was a place dedicated to the ethical care and protection of these beautiful animals. The sanctuary provides a safe, natural environment where rescued elephants can live freely, without chains or riding. Watching them roam, play in the mud, and interact with one another was both heartwarming and eye-opening. We got to feed them and walk alongside them.
An amazing experience

This was truly such a brilliant experience. We were collected from our hotel but you can choose to get there without a transfer if you want. The sanctuary staff were so informative and polite and the lunch was delicious. The elephants were amazing and truly take your breath away. Would 100% recommend to anyone.
Best outing
