We found this place by accident while driving round in our rental car. WOW! We really loved getting up close with the elephants and learning about them. I almost walked off when I found out it was 2000baht/person for the elephant bath and feeding but after going for it I’m so glad I did. It was absolutely amazing. The elephant bath was great fun and it was amazing to be up close and personal wit...

Our visit to the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary in Phuket was truly an unforgettable experience. What stood out most was how ethical and caring this sanctuary is towards the elephants. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and shared a wealth of information about each elephant’s history, behaviour, and the sanctuary’s efforts to protect and care for them.

Super experience. They do really care about their elephants. We booked the simple feeding (60min) and could observe how lovely they treat the elephants, like showering and letting them walk around without any leash. The staff also made sure, no visitor is running around or behaving inappropriate. I truly recommend this place. 🫶🌸🐘

This sanctuary is honestly amazing. It was so nice seeing these beautiful elephants looked after the way they deserve. I loved getting information about them beforehand and how they were rescued. My partner and I did the “feed me” program and it is definitely an activity of a lifetime!! We will definitely be back 🥰

We did the one hour feed experience. We started with a history lesson inside, washed our hands, picked out bananas, and were given a lesson o...
