Phuket Sanctuary with Soul — Since 2007

Where elephants are family, not attraction.

A peaceful jungle retreat just 30 minutes from Patong. No riding. No bathing. Just real sanctuary life.

Welcome to Our Phuket Sanctuary

From Thailand’s Trusted Ethical Elephant Brand (Est. 2007)

For over 17 years, we’ve protected and cared for rescued elephants — and now, that legacy continues in Phuket.

No riding, no bathing, no tricks. Just elephants living freely, safely, and with dignity.

Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or solo — this is more than a tour. It’s an experience that stays with you.

What Makes Us Different?

No riding. No bathing. No pressure.

Elephants roam, feed, rest, and play on their own terms.

Part of the Elephant-Sanctuary.org family (Est. 2007)

Trusted by thousands of travelers for over 17 years.

1 elephant = 1 mahout

Every elephant has a dedicated caretaker who puts their well-being first.

Safe, small-group experiences

We limit guests per group to protect both elephants and your experience.

Educational & meaningful

You’ll leave with real knowledge and a deeper understanding of elephant life in Thailand.

What Your Visit Really Supports

Respect Comes First

Elephants are sentient beings — emotional, social, and wise. That’s why we never force them to perform or interact. Every visit is built around their freedom, not our schedule.

Natural Life, Natural Moments

Here, elephants roam freely through forests, nap in the shade, roll in mud, and bathe in clean mountain water. You’ll walk beside them — not behind a rope — and witness who they really are.

Your Visit Helps More Than You Know

When you book a tour with us, you’re doing more than joining a sanctuary visit. You’re helping us care for our herd and support the community we call home.

Our Promise to Elephants

Every elephant here lives free — no chains, no riding, no tricks. Just elephants being elephants — loved, respected, and finally at peace.

12 Rescued Elephants

5★ Traveler-Rated Experience

Meet Our Elephants

Mali

Rescued from a riding camp where she worked long hours carrying tourists in the heat. Now she spends her mornings peacefully grazing and napping under the trees.

Birthday

April 4, 1978 | Aries ♈

Personality

Curious and always first to greet guests. Loves the attention but will walk away when she’s had enough.

Favorite snack

Ripe bananas

Dao

Used in street begging as a baby. She was malnourished and scared. Today, she’s blossomed into a gentle giant who enjoys slow walks and forest time.

Birthday

August 19, 1996 | Leo ♌

Personality

Calm and elegant. She's the quiet leader of the group.

Favorite snack

Sugarcane sticks

Chok Dee

The youngest in the herd. Born in captivity but surrendered to our sanctuary when his owners could no longer care for him.

Birthday

December 2, 2000 | Sagittarius ♐

Personality

Playful and a bit cheeky. Loves to splash water on guests (you’ve been warned!).

Favorite snack

Watermelon 🍉

Every elephant here has a story — one of survival, healing, and a second chance at life.

As you walk beside them, our guides will share their journeys and the moments that brought them home.

Your Visit Experience

More than just fun — this is a mindful day of bonding, care, and joy.

Every moment is designed to respect the elephants and let you connect naturally.

🙏Welcome & Elephant Lesson (30 min)

Begin your visit with a warm hello from our team and a short, heartfelt intro to elephant care.

We’ll share their stories, explain basic behavior, and guide you on how to engage respectfully.

🍌Feed & Walk with the Herd (1 hour)

Help prepare fruit and vitamin snacks — then hand-feed them to our elephants (they’ll remember you forever).

Walk alongside them as they roam, snack, and just be elephants in the open space.

🐘 Gentle Playtime with Elephants (45–60 min)

At our Phuket sanctuary, playtime is about connection — not control. Watch elephants wander freely, dust themselves, and enjoy fruits alongside their mahouts in a calm, natural rhythm.

We don’t offer bathing or water activities — elephants have their private time to splash and relax.

🍜Thai Lunch & Relaxation (30–45 min)

After all the fun, enjoy a freshly prepared Thai meal with views of the sanctuary.

Shower and change if you like — then take a moment to breathe it all in.

What Our Guests Say

Rated 5 out of 5

Truly the highlight of our Thailand trip.

I can’t even explain how special this felt. No crowds, no riding, no shows — just real elephants, living free. I cried twice.

Rated 5 out of 5

Worth every baht and then some.

Our guide was incredible. The elephants were happy and relaxed. It felt like being invited into their home — not watching from a fence.

Rated 5 out of 5

We didn’t want to leave.

Bathing with them, feeding them by hand, learning their names and pasts… It didn’t feel like a tour. It felt like joining a family.
