Begin your unforgettable adventure with a scenic one-hour drive from your accommodation in Phuket through picturesque landscapes of rolling hills, lush farmland, and beautiful beaches. Upon arrival at the Elephant Sanctuary, you’ll be greeted by your friendly English-speaking guide who will share fascinating insights about these majestic creatures. Armed with bananas and sugar cane, you’ll have the opportunity to feed the elephants and walk alongside them through a peaceful, ethical, and sustainable environment. As you listen to their heartwarming rescue stories, enjoy the freedom to interact, touch, photograph, and observe the elephants as they roam happily in their natural habitat — a truly moving and memorable experience.
Your journey continues as you join the elephants for a playful mud spa session, gently applying a soothing mud treatment to their skin — a fun and beneficial activity for both you and the elephants. Then, walk with them to a nearby river where you’ll enjoy an unforgettable bath, brushing and splashing around as the elephants play in the cool water. Afterward, capture some final photos with your new gentle friends before changing into dry clothes and relaxing with delicious snacks and fresh tropical fruits. To complete your day, unwind at the serene Naithon Beach, soaking in its tranquil beauty before heading back to your hotel with cherished memories of a day spent in harmony with nature.

it was an amazing experience, I really enjoy spend time with the elephants, the staff take care of them very respectful. The guide San and his sister were incredible they were so kind and the treat was marvelous. To the end they give us the food and it was delicious I really recommend the sanctuary.
This was the best experience we had in Thailand. The elephants are loved and cared for by the owner, who has rescued all of them from horrible conditions like circuses, logging operations, riding, etc. The elephants all seem happy and content. They are gentle giants who are clearly so intelligent, they could crush me with one move, yet I was able to walk along side them, swim in the river with them, and they were very careful not to hurt me. These elephants get to roam in the jungle, socialize and are in a beautiful environment. Highly recommend this place and your money will be going to a good cause. Thank you to the owner and his sister who made sure we had a great experience and takes good care of the elephants.
The elephant jungle sanctuary was a laid back enjoyable experience. The small group size and the help of the guide made it a relaxing time spent feeding the elephants and watching them swim. Nice to have a cool drink after the feeding whilst making applique from elephant dung paper. Definitely recommend.
A wonderful and delightful experience, combined with such a great cause in taking care of Thai Asia Elephants. I loved my time feeding, giving banana, medicine, bathing in mud and washing them down in the river to help them cool. The Karen tribe are awesome caretakers. I highly recommend you visit and possibly donate if your able.
Wonderful experience! We spent half a day here, and it’s clear the elephants are very well cared for. We began the morning feeding them, learned about their behavior and lifestyle, and then enjoyed ‘bathing’ them in the river. The group size was just right—small enough to have plenty of opportunities to interact with the elephants and ask the caregivers questions. Pickup and transportation were smooth and comfortable with AC. Overall, a truly memorable experience!
