Our guide Noon and her colleagues were very involved in the welfare of the elephants. Although an elephant normally cannot be approached or touched, they walked around freely and were unfortunately used to people due to their bad past. The elephants are well cared for here and have a large area to walk around (fortunately no elephant rides here). Thnx Noon, you were great❤️. Greetings Rob & Patricia

Plan the Perfect Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Visit
The Elephant Jungle Sanctuary is an ethical and sustainable eco-tourism project that was founded in July 2014 as a joint initiative between members of the Karen hill tribes of Northern Thailand and Chiang Mai locals who were concerned about the welfare of elephants in Thailand.
Half-day visit: Explore the sanctuary's history. Wear traditional Karen tribe clothes, help prepare elephant meals, and interact closely with them. Experience a mud spa and shower with the elephants, and finish with a Thai buffet.
Feed & bath package: Want a brief interaction? Learn about the elephants, feed them, and join their bath time, observing their interactions and relationships.
Feed me package: Limited time or budget? Choose the Feed Me option. Get sanctuary access, feed the elephants, and receive a free drink. Experience their gentle demeanor up close.
Choose Your Branch & Conveyance
The Elephant Jungle Sanctuary has 3 branches in Phuket. Kathu for feed & shower, a half-day visit, or a feeding experience; Thalang for an exclusive feeding experience; and Bang Tao for a half-day visit, or feeding experience. You also have the choice to pick between a convenient hotel transfer or the flexibility of driving yourself.
