What to expect
Explore our Phuket Elephant Care sanctuary situated in Naithon in a green forest area with a big natural lake on the island of Phuket. We offer a convenient pickup service directly from your hotel by comfortable minivan pick with safety and a smile.
The friendly staff of Phuket Elephant Care will welcome you with coffee and tea including bread and some snacks, and you will get an introduction in advanced ECO tourism to prepare for your encounter.
Then it is time to prepare seasonal fruits for the elephants and feed them. Did you know that they eat between 150 and 170 kg of vegetation daily?! You can also take a photo with these lovely creatures.
The last activity is to paint your own small magnetic elephant which you can take back home together with a keychain as a souvenir. And to top it all off, enjoy some fresh fruit. Leave inspired and informed, having supported the elephants with maximum freedom to naturally roam, forage, bathe and socialize at the Phuket Elephant Care Sanctuary.
