Caring for elephants is more than just an activity; it's a heart-warming encounter that's guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. Head to a local Elephant Jungle Sanctuary and you'll spend half learning all about these gentle giants, and after making some magical memories, finish off with a delicious Thai lunch.

Leaving Phuket, you'll head straight for the Elephant Sanctuary – tucked away in a serene spot, this sanctuary prides itself on being a safe space for these intelligent animals. Upon arrival, you'll dive straight into an introduction to the programme's conservation efforts. Then, it's time to come face-to-face with the elephants.

    Excellent time at the elephant sanctuary . We learned about why they ended up in the sanctuary, fed them, washed them after a mud bath and swim and then made a pad thai which we ate accompanied by some food prepared by the staff. The guide was fabulous - friendly , informative and encouraging. An all round fantastic experience

    We really enjoyed our trip to the elephant Sanctuary. Our guide Kay was very knowledgeable & informative/helpful & the elephant handlers (Chicken) were friendly/helpful & dedicated to their work. We also learnt to cook Pad Thai here & we made ink coloured clothes to take home as souvenirs. Most importantly the elephants have been rescued and homed in this safe environment as we would never support wrongdoing to animals.. This was a great trip.

Phuket half-day elephant conservation and feeding experience

They're a symbol of the country, so a visit to an elephant sanctuary is a must on your trip to Thailand. In this two-hour experience, you'll learn about the history of these gentle giants and understand how conservation projects are supporting elephants born in captivity to live as closely as possible to how they live in the wild.The way to an elephant's heart is through its belly, so you'll get hands-on and prepare some of their favourite snacks. Then, you'll help with feeding time as you respectfully bond with the animals on their terms.Walking by their sides as the elephants head to the river is a real pinch me moment, so make sure you have your camera at the ready. Finally, you'll get to see them at their most playful as they wallow in the water and take a mud bath.
