Phuket Elephant Sanctuary

Phuket's first ethical elephant sanctuary providing a home for elephants retired from the tourism industry. Set on 30 acres of rainforest bordering Khao Phra Taew National Park. No riding, no chains, no tricks - just observing elephants in their natural environment. Programs include learning about elephant care, walking beside them, and watching them bathe. Feeding interactions end from April 2026 to further align with natural elephant behavior.

Elephant riding damages their backs over time. Tourism elephants were previously trained using cruel methods. Here they live freely as they would in the wild
