- Phuket Elephant Sanctuary - Spending a morning with the elephants is both enlightening and inspiring. After a scenic drive through a local village, visitors will arrive at Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, a beautiful jungle landscape featuring ponds, expansive fields, and hillsides where the elephants can freely roam.
The visit begins at the Tree Top Lounge, where a presentation and educational video are provided to prepare guests for their encounter with the elephants and to emphasize the importance of their protection.
Following this, the elephants are fed. While they enjoy their baskets of bananas and watermelon, visitors have the opportunity to learn about their history. (This brief interaction is available until 31 March 2026)
Guests then follow the elephants into the jungle. By maintaining a safe distance and observing from the Observation Salas, the elephants are free to exhibit their natural behaviors, such as bathing, playing in the pond, and socializing with one another.
The program concludes with a delightful Thai vegetarian meal.
