An unforgettable, yet ethical experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - I can’t recommend this elephant sanctuary enough. Every elephant here has been rescued from a life of cruelty and hard labor, and seeing them living freely and happily is something I’ll never forget. Our guide, Gift, was incredible. She struck the perfect balance between education and experience. She taught us about the dark reality of elephant tourism and how these gentle giants are often enslaved and abused, while also sharing each elephant’s unique story and personality. It was powerful, emotional, and deeply respectful. The whole visit was beautifully run and thoughtfully planned, with just the right mix of learning, activity, and interaction. There was no unnecessary waiting, and everything flowed naturally. Each elephant also has a dedicated caretaker who clearly loves and understands them, spending every day ensuring their comfort and happiness. What makes this place truly special is knowing that every visit directly supports both the care of current rescues and the rescue of more elephants in the future. The elephants live in wide, open spaces where they can roam freely, eat well, and simply be elephants. If you want a genuine, ethical, and heartwarming elephant experience, support this sanctuary instead of the unethical ones that still chain, beat, and exploit these amazing animals. This place restores your faith in what animal tourism should b

Smooth and amazing encounter with gentle giants - We wanted to see Thai elephants in their natural habitat and the closest easiest sanctuary/conservatory is Bukit Park in Phuket. We booked online £10 for seeing and feeding elephants and its so well organised. We travelled via taxi which we booked personally via Grab and reached Bukit 20 mins from our hotel. There is free water, cold towel, coffee/thai tea upon arrival. The experience is well planned, not rushed and the staff takes photos for your family too. Each family is given a basket of bananas (each family member) to feed the elephants. You can touch the elephants gently as well. Lasted 30 - 40 mins. There is a souvenir shop on site with lovely items.

A great trip. Definitely recommend. - This was such a great trip. Our guide was excellent, very informative and a great communicator. The elephants are well looked after and it was nice to get so close (but ethically). All of the staff were lovely and the whole trip was amazing. We weren’t rushed around and there were plenty of photo opportunities. Good luck with continuing the great work you do.
