Trunk & Soul Elephant Home Phuket Experience

One of the best first experiences we’ve had with Trunk & Soul 🐘🤎 Shoutout to our guide Anan, who lives there with his family. They have 3 elephants who grew up with them since young — Mary (31), the talkative one; Boonam (50), the old lady; and their cheeky boy Tanva (9)! 🥹 Anan was so welcoming and made us feel like part of the family while sharing stories about the elephants and their traditions. There was no one else when we went, so we basically had a private session 🫢 We got to feed, shower, mud bath and scrub the elephants! They provide free drinks, a change of clothes and slippers, lockers plus showers, towels and soap. They even helped take photos for us throughout the experience 📸🥹 We also got to try his mum’s cooking and let me tell you… CHEF’S KISS 🤌🏻🤤 Everything was SO good! They also taught us how to make thai dessert which we could even bring home and share with our loved one. Would 100% come back when we’re in Phuket again. Such a wholesome and memorable experience!

esta es una de las mejores experiencias aquí en Pocket, un experiencia inolvidable. A los elefantes los tratan con mucho amor y cariño y te sientes tú como en casa y te das cuenta de que cuidan muchísimo muchísimo a sus elefantes que los quiere mucho te dan el tiempo necesario para que disfrutes de experiencia y te sientas en paz y tranquilo. Te dan un servicio personalizado de 11 nunca te dicen que te des prisa ni te hace sentir como un turista te hace sentir como que eres parte de su familia y te hacen disfrutar del momento que compartes con los elefantes. Recomiendo este Tour a cualquier persona que venga aquí y es mucho muy limpio.

lovely experience🩷 we were the only couple for this timeslot and the whole 3hours felt like a private tour with the elephants and staff! also there are 2 friendly cats n many chickens around. clothes are provided to change into and shower areas are provided too. clean toilets n shower area :) 100% would recommend and will be back !!! thank u for the great experience🥰

This is a family run elephant sanctuary, we had a really wonderful time here. The staff welcomed us with drinks and snacks, the sanctuary is well kept and the elephants there are genuinely happy and relaxed. We made rice balls for the elephants and feed them with bananas, watermelons and sugar canes. Then we helped to take bath for them and played with them in the water pond. My 6yo son had a great time here, and it’s also very memorable for adults. this house for elephants is a definitely a must come spot in visit, it’s very cozy and family friendly if you don’t like the commercial run ones!

직원들은 매우 친절했고 안전에도 신경썼으며 가족들이 코끼리와 지내는동안 나의 핸드폰으로 열심히 사진을 찍어주셨습니다. 태국에서 6일동안 여러가지 엑티비티를 했지만 코끼리와의 체험이 제일 좋았습니다. 시작할때 옷을 제공하고 체험이 끝나고나면 샤워를 할 수있고 수건을 제공합니다. 마지막엔 코끼리 열쇠고리도 선물로 주셨습니다. 어린아이가 있는 가족이면 잊지못할 좋은 체험이 확실합니다.

Shoutout to our guide Anan throughout our session! He was do welcoming and kind. Told us about the history of their famous Mary 🥺Had fun feeding the elephants and showering them. Definitely recommend this to newbies!

Het was de beste ervaring van mijn leven! Hayat gaf ons gedetailleerde informatie over olifanten en ze is zo'n geweldig persoon! Het hele team was erg vriendelijk en de olifanten... ik weet niet wat ik moet zeggen! Je moet dit ethische olifantencentrum zeker bezoeken als je naar Phuket komt!

非常棒的體驗！relax的氛圍，大象很溫和很可愛，工作人員也很親切，英文很好，還會說中文。值得全家一起體驗，我們全家都很喜歡，making the meal for elephants, feeding, taking the elephant shower, and have water fun, even better than pool fun🤣 highly recommend!

De meest ongelooflijke ervaring! Ik boekte de olifantenontmoeting met Trunk and Soul omdat het er superpersoonlijk uitzag en een geweldige huiselijke sfeer had. De ervaring overtrof alle verwachtingen! Bij aankomst voorzag het team ons van een supercomfortabele set om ons in om te kleden. Ik raad zeker aan om je zwemkleding en sandalen te dragen en reservekleding mee te nemen! We mochten vier van de meisjes voeren, speciale dieetsnacks voor ze maken, met ze in de modder spelen, ze wassen en met ze zwemmen. Ik vond de kleine groepsbeleving geweldig, het maakte de ontmoeting nog specialer en intenser. Het personeel maakte een ongelooflijke lunch voor ons en leerde ons zelfs hoe we deze heerlijke bloemvormige chips moesten maken. Ik kan niet genoeg lof uiten over het team. Ik zou het zo weer doen. Bedankt Trunk and Soul!!

We have been to Thailand for the first time and this experience was not on our list. If was last minute plan because my wife wanted to see Elephants closely before going back and I found Trunk and Soul and instantly booked it. We truely enjoyed our time with all for Sisters🐘 of Ananda (because that’s what he calls them❤️). Ananda and his family were so kind we didn’t feel like going back honestly. We are in love with this place and we wish you All the best for your new journey. It was truely an experience we will never forget. Love from Mumbai, India🇮🇳- Mukhtar & Subhana
