Elephant excursions on Phuket Island offer a unique opportunity to connect with Thailand’s wildlife, get to know these sacred animals, and learn about the importance of their protection.
We recommend visiting special sanctuaries where elephants live in conditions as close as possible to their natural habitat and where they are genuinely cared for.
Not everyone knows that traditional entertainments – elephant riding and circus performances – are often associated with animal cruelty. In ethical sanctuaries, elephants are not forced to perform tricks or carry tourists. We’ve collected such locations in the Elephants section.
The main part of a sanctuary excursion is dedicated to direct interaction with the animals. Visitors can feed them, help with their care, and simply spend time with the elephants – this interaction brings a sea of positive emotions to all participants. Some sanctuaries offer the opportunity to help elephants take mud baths, which protect their skin from insects and the sun, and then accompany them to water bodies for swimming. It’s an unforgettable experience!

Visiting elephant sanctuaries is not just entertainment but also an educational program aimed at nature conservation and preserving elephant populations. Almost all sanctuaries include an educational component in their tours, where guides share information about elephant biology, behavior, threats to their population, and conservation measures.
We recommend visiting only those places where elephants are treated with respect, care, and love. They don’t offer elephant rides but instead take care of the animals and do everything to ensure elephants live their best life. One of the best such places is Hidden Forest Elephant Reserve.
