Zážitok v prírodnej rezervácii slonov Phuket

반나절 코끼리 보호소에서 보낸 시간은 정말 좋았어요. 많은 보호소 중 고를 때 먹이 직접주기, 목욕시켜주기 등 직접적인 접촉 활동이 없는 곳으로 골랐어요. 모르는 사람의 손길은 코끼리들에게 스트레스가 될테니까요. 대신 식사 준비하는 활동이 좋았고, 코끼리들을 만나며 그들의 스토리를 들을 때에는 조금 슬펐지만 그래도 지금은 건강히 지내고 있으니 다행이라 생각했어요!

The sanctuary is vast, amongst lush greenery. Facilities are clean and well-maintained. I appreciate that they don’t allow touching or bathing of the elephants, prioritising the safety of the visitors, as well as the elephants’ welfare. You get to see the elephants in their element, as they roam freely. Our guide was also warm and knowledgable. Loved every minute of it!

experience: Very enjoyable experience - super ethical, no touching or bathing with the elephants, just observing them and helping to prepare food for them. At the end we cooked some Pad Thai and Tom yum for lunch. instructor: Our guide Mr. Daeng was super knowledgable and funny also ☆ Highly recommend.

great experience visiting the elephant sanctuary! exceeded my expectations and we got to learn more about them.

it was a good experience with educational elements for young and old. the elephants were well taken care of and the children throughly enjoyed their time there.

very educational and ethical elephant sanctuary, nice tour to understand this place and the elephants

An absolutely unforgettable experience at Phuket Elephant Nature Reserve. What sets this sanctuary apart is its genuinely ethical approach — no riding, no bathing, no touching, just respectful observation of rescued elephants living as elephants should. That hands-off philosophy was exactly why I chose it, and it made the experience even more meaningful. The guides were passionate and educational, sharing each elephant’s story with so much care, and you can feel the sanctuary puts welfare above tourism. Watching these majestic animals roam freely in a natural environment was humbling and beautiful. If you want an authentic, responsible elephant experience in Phuket, this is the place. Amazing, ethical, and deeply moving.

먹이를 만들어서 주는 재미가 있었고, 코끼리를 보호하기 위해서 진심으로 신경 쓰는 시설의 태도를 느낄 수 있었습니다.

Amazing experience!! Our guide Porche was just the best. We took the tour with cooking and the food was also very good. Highly recommend this place 'cause there is no touching or beathing the elephants ❤️ The place is very well taken care of and the animals as well. Thank you!

Lovely sanctuary very educational and seems quite ethical. There was no elephant riding, scrubbing, etc. The elephants are rescued from touristy places and living with elephant care takers. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.
