Why go, and how to do it well
Bukit Elephant Park is in Chalong, in the south of Phuket, run by a team that says it has more than two decades of elephant experience. It lists eight elephants, and it's accredited by the Asian Captive Elephant Standards (ACES). The model is feeding and watching. Nobody rides, and the park says it doesn't offer bathing, for the elephants' welfare and the visitors' safety.
The main program, Elephant Nature, takes three to three and a half hours, 09:00 to 12:30 or 14:00 to 17:00, and costs ฿2,700 for adults and ฿1,500 for children. You feed the elephants bananas, hear their histories, watch a rubber-tapping and coconut-milk demonstration, and eat a Thai lunch while the elephants play in the water. Two shorter 90-minute programs, Walk and Feed (฿1,600) and Mini Elephant Nature (฿1,400), keep the feeding and the history talk.
