The elephant sanctuary Phuket Elephant Nature on Phuket in Si Sunthon is a picturesque reserve where three little elephants live. The animals move freely around the territory, and it’s evident that they are loved and cared for here. Visitors recommend that those who care take the 90-minute program and watch a film about the damage tourism causes to elephants.
In the park, you can feed the elephants fruits, wash them, go for a walk, and take many beautiful photos. During the tour, the guide talks about each resident of the reserve and about Asian elephants in general.
There is an inexpensive cafe on the territory with tasty food and a playground. The park’s territory is very well-maintained, the staff and guides are hospitable and friendly.
