Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket (Bang Tao Branch)

What an absolutely unforgettable experience We turned up without a booking and were welcomed so warmly — within minutes we were feeding the elephants for just 900 baht, and it honestly became one of the highlights of our entire trip. Hannah showed us around and she was truly AMAZING. So kind, knowledgeable and passionate, she made us feel completely at ease and taught us so much about the elephants. We were able to stroke them, spend real time up close, and capture incredible photos and videos — all in such a calm, respectful environment. This wasn’t rushed, touristy or staged. It felt genuine, ethical and incredibly special. A once-in-a-lifetime moment we will never forget. If you’re in the area don’t miss this! I can’t recommend it highly enough

EJS offers an exceptional opportunity for an intimate encounter with elephants, where their humane treatment and care are paramount. Our visit was facilitated through a private tour group, which included members from another party. A culinary presentation was offered, complemented by a buffet. The sanctuary's compact size ensures accessibility and enjoyment for all age groups. Should you choose to participate in the elephant washing activity, dedicated facilities are available for personal cleansing. The experience was universally well-received, and we were even provided with complimentary merchandise.

We visited with our family and had a calm, pleasant experience. There were seven elephants, aged approximately 8 to 80 years. We participated in the feeding program, which was very enjoyable. The elephants are treated with great care and love. There is no riding or entertainment that could cause stress to the animals, which we truly appreciated. It was clear that animal welfare is a priority. Thank you for providing such a respectful and ethical experience. Kids loved the souveniers-paper that was made from elephant poo.
