Situated in the Thalang district of northern Phuket, this elephant care facility has built a strong reputation among visitors seeking meaningful wildlife encounters grounded in animal welfare principles. Rather than performance-based entertainment, the park centers its programs around rescued elephants living in a naturalistic setting, giving guests genuine insight into how these animals are cared for on a daily basis.
Visitors typically join structured half-day or longer programs that include feeding, bathing, and walking alongside the elephants, with meals often provided as part of the package. Guides are consistently praised for their enthusiasm and knowledge, adding considerable depth to the experience. The atmosphere is calm and unhurried, reflecting the sanctuary's focus on the animals' wellbeing over commercial throughput. Multiple elephants are present, and interactions are described by guests as personal and unhurried.

Reviews from Google
This was the highlight of my Thailand trip, one of the best experiences I've had so far. The guides are very entertaining, enthusiastic and energetic. They make the whole experience a hundred times more fun and enjoyable. We went with the full care experience package and I highly recommend this to everyone regardless of how much you like elephants. We started with making food for the elephants, feeding them, scrubbing them with mud and then bathing them. They also showed us how traditional Thai food like pad thai and papaya salad is made, which was very tasty. We were vegetarian and they took out the time to prepare a separate vegetarian spread for us even though we were just 7 people. The experience was very wholesome and I have nothing but praises for the entire team for making the experience so special. I would recommend everyone to try this out if you're in Thailand. It will definitely be something you'll remember for the rest of your lives, and that's not even an exaggeration. The sanctuary is cruelty free and they care for the elephants immensely. The elephants are very well behaved and fun to be around. I just wished the day wouldn't end.
1000% recommended to book this experience! We did the feeding experience and got to feed a friendly and calm elephant and take photos with her during the feeding. Then we went on to the coolest and cutest cafe with capybara plushies all over the place. We got to choose a drink and got canvas bags with markers to write/draw on them. Then we went to feed the capybaras, they were a capybara couple and the sweetest creatures! The cafe staff was incredibly friendly and nice to us, we even got some gift magnets and stickers to take home with us. We really had the best time, thank you!
This was one of the best experience I have ever had! Naidee Elephant Care Phuket is the best choice if you are thinking on an activity with elephants. The 3 hour long program included even 2x meals and snacks, drinks, proper clothing for the lake and opportunity to have a shower after. Thank you for this memory 🫶🏼
