Phuket Elephant Nature Reserve Ethical Sanctuary
About this experience
Phuket Elephant Nature Reserve an Accredited, Sustainable, Award-winning, and Ethical Elephant Sanctuary in Phuket. We are completely hand - off elephant sanctuary, which means our visitors are prohibited from touching, feeding or bathing the elephants. Only the mahout ( the elephant 's caretaker) and the vet are allowed to touch the elephants, feed wash, administer veterinary care etc. Our goal is to set up a sanctuary that is truly a safe haven for elephants, where these beautiful social mammals can interact and behave naturally. This also include Thai cooking class demo.
