Overview

See how elephants are cared for while getting to humanely interact with them in Phang Nga. Get to spend a unique full-day with these gentle giants and help with feeding, bathing and overall care.

This is a truly magical experience and day out and one that you will never forget. We will provide you with a FREE waterproof phone casing/bag (which you can keep) so you can enjoy taking pictures of the elephants without risking damaging your phone.

Your day begins with pick up from your hotel in Phuket or surrounding areas and you will head towards the Elephant Sanctuary ready for this truly magical Elephant experience, which starts at 11AM in the morning.

Upon arrival at the Elephant Care Park, you will be given a traditional Mahout uniform to wear before receiving an introductory training session on the basics of the park and elephant care. Once you’ve completed your training, you will get to meet the elephants.

You will get to learn in depth about these magnificent animals, their behaviours and history. You will have the chance to help the keepers prepare special food for the elephants and then feed them. You will get to spend some quality one-on-one time with these gentle giants, before sitting down to enjoy your own delicious Thai food lunch, accompanied by fresh fruit, tea and coffee.

After resting up you will get to take the elephants for a mud spa, which cools them down and protects them from parasites.

End this amazing experience by bathing the elephants in the river and cleaning the mud off them.

Take another tea or coffee break before heading back to your hotel at the end of the day, at 3:30 PM via your private VIP driver.

Arrive at your hotel and embrace all the pictures you took and the unforgettable, happy memories you made! Smile!

Featured Review

This was a truly magical experience and one that myself and my husband will never forget. The whole day was just so calming and tranquil. The elephant keepers were really friendly and smiley and the elephants really looked like they were having a great time and being taken great care of. Highly recommend this to everyone as these guys need tourists like us so they can keep taking care of these magnificent animals. Great work guys and great work Phuket Fun Tours, it really was a magical day! Thanks for the waterproof phone case as well this was a nice added touch.

Very nice guide, great attractions, very friendly way of treating elephants, I recommend it, great experience 😀

(Agatha, Poland)

Our tour guide Montre was excellent! He was happy, funny, attentive, patient and made sure all was having a good time! It was the best day ever! My daughter was able to live her dream life getting up close, feeding, petting, grooming an elephant. The waterfall was beautiful, we chose not to swim, but the scenery was perfect! The lunch that was served was delicious! All the staff were very friendly, attentive and made sure we had a great day! Highly recommend this excursion! If we ever come back to Phuket, this is definitely going to be an activity! Also thanks for the water proof phone cases – I can’t recommend Phuket Fun Tours enough!

(Patricia, United Kingdom)

It was really a very nice experience to get so close to an elephant without any signs of torture or punishment. From preparing the food to feeding and bathing the elephant, it was a very successful day. Not to forget all the people around, from the guide, the driver and the ladies who prepared the delicious food. Can really only recommend it!!!
