Elefanttielämys Phuketin rannalla – Lily Elephant Camp

Tämä oli upea kokemus. Henkilökunta oli todella mukavaa ja ystävällistä, ja norsut vaikuttivat todella hyvin hoidetuilta ja onnellisilta verrattuna muihin, joita olimme nähneet muualla loukussa ja sidottuna pienissä aitauksissa tien varrella... Suosittelen ehdottomasti tätä paikkaa. Nämä norsut olivat suuria ja terveitä, ja niillä oli runsaasti ruokaa ja hoitoa upealta tiimiltä. Pääoppaamme nimi oli Nice ja hän oli todella hieno persoona, hän sai meidät nauramaan koko ajan ja koulutti ryhmää. Matka sujui mainostetusti ja maksoimme kohtuulliset 600 bahtia paluumatkasta, koska olimme noutoalueen ulkopuolella. Saimme ottaa omia kuvia, mikä oli hienoa, ja heillä on myös joku ottamassa laadukkaita kuvia, joista joutuu maksamaan lisämaksun. Heidän ottamansa kuvat olivat upeita ja hieman hintavia, mutta varat menevät norsujen hoitoon. Maksoimme pienimmästä paketista, joka oli 1000 bahtia kuudesta digitaalisesta kuvasta. Minusta tuntui, että meillä oli runsaasti aikaa jokaiseen vierailun osaan – meille kerrottiin jokaisesta norsusta, tapasimme heidät ja heidän yksittäiset hoitajansa, ruokimme heitä, olimme meressä heidän kanssaan ja sitten kylvetimme heidät ennen kotiin lähtöä. Kiitos

I enjoyed myself. I was the last customer there so I got to feed the elephants by myself. My guide was very nice, informative & communicated with me very well. Which was good for me because I’m a shy person & it helped me feel comfortable. He also took many photos & videos for me during the activity. The elephants eat fast so I got to just watch & pet them for a few minutes. It was a great experience!

素晴らしく貴重な体験でした。ここにいる保護された象達は元々観光客を乗せて運ぶアクティビティの運営団体などで働かされていた象らしく、人間を乗せてた重さにより脚が変形していたり鞭で叩かれたために失明してしまっている象がいます。ここではその象達のご飯を作り食べさせてあげて、一緒に水遊びをし身体をブラシで洗ってあげます。気持ちがいいと耳をバタバタして喜びを表してくれます。ガイドが「ここにいる象は長い間沢山働いて来たから、ここでは辛い労働は一切させない。(そのため我々が象に乗るなどのサービスなどは無し)ここに来た象は、毎日食べて水遊びして身体を洗ってもらってうんちしてまた食べて寝るだけの人生なんだ〜」と話しており最後には「象を幸せにする手伝いをしてくれてありがとう」と見送っていただきました。まだまだ辛い思いをしている象がいると思うと悲しいですが、罪悪感一切なく幸せな気持ちだけで終始終われるアクティビティでした。保護団体の皆さんに感謝です。

I had the most amazing day learning about the elephants before getting the chance to feed them, then playing with them and bathing them on their private beach!

I'm Thai who have been seeing many elephants from many place since I was a child. This place is not like anywhere I have visited. There's no chain nor ropes binding them at all. Everything is so natural. The care taker show deepest bonding and understanding towards elephants. They could share knowledge and answer our question so openly. This is my one of my lifetime memories that I would cherish. Elephants show no stress at all. They all are so kind like all of the staff at this sanctuary. Will definitely visit here again♡ This elephants sanctuary worth every support!

This was a really awesome experience. You can tell they really care about the elephants and they seem to be having a very happy life. Each elephant has its own handler and it was so nice not to see chains or ropes on them. Thier corrals are literally a rope. They could easily go wherever they want but they stay. You can tell there is mutual love and respect between the elephants and the handlers. It was amazing to just get to spend time with them. They seemed to really enjoy theirs baths and loved playing in the water. It was quite an experience to get to see them up so close. There is so much going on in their eyes and they all look so uniquely different and have their own personalities. The guides are great and very happy to take photos for you. They are also constantly taking professional photos and you get to look through them all and chose your favorites at the end and they send them digitally, which is nice. They had over 60 photos for us to look at. We chose the package of 6, which I believe was about 30USD give or take. Over all I echo the reviews others have made about it not feeling super touristy and unpleasant for the elephants. We were happy to contribute money to their care through the tickets and photo purchases. We were staying in Kamala Beach so it was a bit of a drive but the provided transportation was great. I would 100% recommend this to someone looking to have a truly unique interaction with elephants. Just book it!

We had so much fun at the lily elephant camp although we did not arrived on the scheduled timing the staff is very accommodating in rescheduling the timing, just message them ahead of time. They have a well trained staff and good caretaker of the elephants. There are a total of 4 elephants that we have closely encountered. Feeding elephants is quite the experience because they are gentle giants and they're so adorable. It was easy to book in klook if you want to have an experience with the elephants. Just bring some spare clothes if you still want to explore around Phuket after feeding them😉☺️

帶孩子的一個體驗，她滿六歲第一次看到大象本人😆但太巨大，我只選了簡單的餵食，最後說我們大人玩得最開心，我的女兒嚇到都不敢餵😆當地都會說些中文，就算英文不好的人來玩也不用擔心。大象都被照顧的很好，胖嘟嘟的。服務人員也都很熱情❤️ 安全性：很安全 體驗：很讚 教練：很熱心

Hi, The location is beautiful and incredibly peaceful. The staff were professional, kind, and welcoming throughout the experience. I wish I could remember the names of the team members who hosted me—they were so sweet and knowledgeable. You can truly see how much they care for the elephants through the passion and love they show while talking about them and caring for them. It was heartwarming to witness the dedication they have towards these amazing animals. Thank you so much for hosting me and making this such a memorable experience. I would highly recommend visiting this place.

送迎付き、ウォーターサーバーの水がある、写真沢山撮れる、スタッフが明るく元気で優しいところがとてもよかったです。ゲストを焦らせたり急かすこともなく、終始楽しく過ごせた。一眼レフの写真（別料金で購入）いろんなポーズやシチュエーションで沢山とってくれてとてもよい思い出が残りました。ここに記載されている時間よりかなり時間は要します。10：30予約で、遅くても13:30頃に終わるかな？と思っていたが15:00頃解散、ホテルに着いたのは16：30頃でほぼ1日潰れました。時間には余裕もって計画した方が良いです。ただ、総合的に楽しく過ごせて満足でした。
