Very glad to have chosen this reserve, as it is clear they make an effort to keep the environment as best as possible for the 5 elephants currently under their care. In the 90-minute program we got to walk around the reserve, meet all the elephants (from the 9-year old baby to the 60-year old boss grandmother), get educated by the lovely guide and finally prepare the food to feed them - no direct feeding! All in all, definitely a good experience and a good way to support a company that truly cares.

This was without a doubt the highlight of our entire trip to Thailand. The Elephant Nature Reserve care very deeply about the rescued elephants in their care. The Elephants are never forced to do anything they don’t want to, there’s no touching and no shared mud baths (which is all very stressful for them). Dang was an amazing guide, who clearly loves the Elephants very much and talks with passion about them. You are still able to get very close and take lots of pictures, all while remaining respectful. Choose this sanctuary for an ethical and meaningful Elephant sanctuary!!!

We read reviews of many places before going to this one, mamy had controversial comments about the situation of the elephants. Phuket Elephant Nature Reserve had least negative opinions and that is for a reason. They do their best to make sure the animals are not being abused in the process of customer visits, they seem to know what they are doing. From the talk with the guide you can understand a lot about the situation of the elephants in Thailand and how different our „western” perception is from the local one. Just so that you are not surprised - there are not wild animals kept in this place, they have been trained and used by people in the past, that is why it is possible to be around them in the first place. We did a 90 minute tour which was good, informative and fun. Also - their restaurant is really worth recommendation.
