We really enjoyed our trip to the elephant Sanctuary. Our guide Kay was very knowledgeable & informative/helpful & the elephant handlers (Chicken) were friendly/helpful & dedicated to their work. We also learnt to cook Pad Thai here & we made ink coloured clothes to take home as souvenirs. Most importantly the elephants have been rescued and homed in this safe environment as we would never support wrongdoing to animals.. This was a great trip.
Caring for elephants is more than just an activity; it's a heart-warming encounter that's guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. Head to a local Elephant Jungle Sanctuary and you'll spend half learning all about these gentle giants, and after making some magical memories, finish off with a delicious Thai lunch.
Leaving Phuket, you'll head straight for the Elephant Sanctuary – tucked away in a serene spot, this sanctuary prides itself on being a safe space for these intelligent animals. Upon arrival, you'll dive straight into an introduction to the programme's conservation efforts. Then, it's time to come face-to-face with the elephants. You'll get a glimpse of feeding time with these gentle giants, and watch them take a mud bath.
You'll wrap things up with a tasty Thai lunch to reflect on your day, with an extra surprise. A visit here is not only an item to check off your bucket list, but an experience to cherish for a lifetime.
