So recommend this activity. Both you and the elephants will get a lot out of this. We did the feed and shower option where you get to interact with several elephants for the afternoon where you will feed them fruit and vitamin balls which ypu mix up yourself which contains all the nutrients the elephants need. Then you get to give them a scrub and a shower which you can do again with several elephants so if there are a few in your group it's not overcrowded. Also not to worry as this is an elephant Sanctuary all the elephants have been rescued from servitude and slavery and from a life of horrible conditions, so as well as enjoying the day you can do it in the knowledge that you are helping the rescuers do more good work and hopefully rescue more elephants from harsh and cruel conditions. Nancy, Kangaroo and Mr M were wonderful and I commend them for the hard work they do and the big hearts they have to save these elephants, keep up the hard work. A**** a must do experience in Phuket.

The staff is very carefull with the elephants and they really love them. The elephants have a good life and it is not that kind of sanctuary where you ride them for fun which is appreciated. Staff very open to take you pictures, smile, help feed the animals, joke and make you have a great experience.

Your Experience

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.
