The Lake Phuket Elephant Home Ethical Sanctuary

Wow, wow, We had an absloute wonderful experience exploring and learnt so much about elephant behaviour, very passionately explained by Mr Daeng. Highly, recommend full day experience. Enjoyed cooking class, made papaya salad from sratch using tradtional pestle & morter method. As a vegetarian, provided an alternative to fish sauce which you don't really need to make a salad. After lunch, we relaxed then went into the forest with Daeng to get food for the elephants. Drove through the forest on a very rough, rugged make shift road. We witnessed chopping of palm trees, very hard work done by Daeng & his team. Unfortunately, the boots were too small for my husband. Suggest, the company to invest in various shoe sizes and shoe cleanser for hgyiene as these are to be worn by different people & to invest in building a proper road. That said, truly unforgettable experience. Getting involved with bathing the elephants is great fun, relaxed. We returned to the elephant santuary to feed the elephants. They certainly devoured nearly all of the palm tree. The staff fetch these tree logs & leaves daily. Suggest the company invest & use automatic chain saw to cut the trees etc. Treasure the memories forever.

This is amazing elephant sanctuary in a beautiful area! We had wonderful experience while feeding two female elephants , they were very kind and gentle. Thanks to our guide Yu, he is doing his job 100% excellent! We’ll definitely recommend to visit this place, best memories from the trip! Thanks to all team! P.S. they also offer pick up and drop off services to our hotel included in program price, very convenient!

Mr. Daeng was awesome, has a lot of experience with elephants, we had a feed together and is sooo pationate about the care and well being of the animals. They roam free and eat healthy here The elephant bathing was such a good experience. A must must do ! Such a underrated experience, wholesome and eye opening.
