Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket

An ethical elephant sanctuary was founded thanks to the efforts of a small group of local residents. Today, this place has grown into a large sanctuary that has received numerous awards and recognition for its contribution to ecotourism.

Insider supports exactly such eco-friendly projects and recommends visiting places where animals are not exploited for tourism purposes.

Can you ride elephants there? How are the animals treated?

No, elephant riding is strictly prohibited — this is one of the core principles of the sanctuary’s ethical approach. Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket positions itself as “the most ethical sanctuary in Phuket,” where elephants (all rescued from the tourism industry, where they were exploited for riding and shows) live freely. They roam the jungle, bathe in lakes, and socialize with one another. There are no chains, hooks, or forced interactions — the elephants receive veterinary care, a balanced diet, and plenty of space for natural living. Visitors can feed them bananas or sugarcane, apply mud, or observe them bathing, always under the supervision of guides and with a strong focus on animal welfare education.

Is it safe to visit the sanctuary with small children?

Yes, visiting is safe for children of all ages, including toddlers. There are no strict age restrictions, but parental supervision is required during interactions with the elephants (feeding, mud spa) to avoid accidents — the elephants are friendly, but very large.

What should I bring with me?

The sanctuary provides rubber boots, socks, umbrellas/raincoats, mosquito repellent, water, and meals (a vegetarian buffet). For extra comfort, we recommend bringing:
Clothing: Light, comfortable clothes (shorts/T-shirts) that can get dirty (mud/water); a change of clothes, and a swimsuit (for optional bathing with the elephants).
Protection: A hat, sunscreen (SPF 50+), and a poncho or umbrella (rain is possible year-round).

Is there a transfer? How can I get there?

Yes, you can purchase tickets with a transfer included. You can also buy tickets without a transfer and get there by taxi or rented transport.
