Here the elephants feel well and are not exploited. A visit is worthwhile and I can recommend this without a guilty conscience. ========== Hier fühlen sich die Elefanten wohl und werden nicht ausgebeutet. Ein Besuch ist lohnenswert und ich kann dies ohne schlechtes Gewissen empfehlen.

These elephants are being rehabilitated after abuse. It's a ethical and positive way to interact with them on their terms.

Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is one of the new breed of elephant attractions, that's spreading across Thailand and is the most humane way to see these majestic giants. Effectively a retirement home for creatures rescued from the more cruel and exploitative elephant parks, there are daily tours where you can see the residents enjoying the freedom of being wild animals again. It's important to note that the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is exactly that – a sanctuary. The tours are not the primary purpose of the 12-hectare facility, but the money raised from them helps to provide food, care and medicine for the relatively small number of resident elephants. As with the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project near Bang Pae Waterfall, this is not a petting zoo. You will not be able to ride the elephants, but you can walk with and feed them and watch as they roam, forage, bathe and play in a natural environment. Visiting Phuket Elephant Sanctuary The half-day tour at the sanctuary starts from meeting at the office in the Paklok area north of Phuket Town at around 9.30am or 1.30pm. It features a vegetarian Thai lunch or dinner, as well as an educational presentation on the work of the sanctuary and, of course, the opportunity to meet the elephants. You will return to the collection point by about 1pm or 5pm. You're advised to bring a copy of your passport, personal travel insurance, sun protection and clothes which you don’t mind getting dirty. If half a day isn’t enough for you, Phuket Elephant Sanctuary also has a full-day tour and a week-long volunteer programme, during which you'll be provided with accommodation and some meals. You'll be helping out with a variety of tasks, including food preparation (both for tour guests and the elephants), mucking out, maintaining the buildings and structures and working with the elephants.
