Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visiting this elephant sanctuary was an absolutely amazing experience. It’s evident that the staff genuinely care about the well-being of the elephants, and their passion and dedication shine through in everything they do. The sanctuary is beautifully maintained, and the elephants are clearly happy, healthy, and treated with the utmost respect.
From feeding and interacting with the elephants to learning about their stories and natural behaviors, every moment felt meaningful and unforgettable. The staff were not only knowledgeable but also warm and welcoming, making the entire experience even more special.
The only very minor downside was the ratio of time spent traveling to the sanctuary versus the time spent with the elephants. However, the experience itself was so incredible that it was well worth the journey. I highly recommend this sanctuary to anyone looking for an ethical and heartwarming encounter with these magnificent animals!

I would definitely recommend this tour again! Oh, and did I mention the food? The chefs—whoever they were—deserve a raise, haha. Lastly, the entire staff was incredible. Their energy and dedication to helping and assisting guests made me feel safe. The staff’s respect and care for the elephants were evident; you could tell, even from the outside looking in, that the elephants were treated with the utmost respect.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was adamant on finding an ethical elephant sanctuary and rescue when visiting Phuket and couldn’t be happier with our experience here!
The elephants free roam where we followed them up toward the top of a mountain and got to feed them plenty of bamboo and bananas while we took photos with them.
We then got to bathe them down in a large lake where the elephants were throwing mud and water to cool themselves off.
You can tell that these elephants are very loved and well taken care of. They display no anxious behaviors and took very well to us coming so close to them without being forced to pose or perform.
Must do activity in Phuket!

This is one of the very few elephant sanctuaries that take care of the elephants and allow them to thrive in their natural habitat. They also don’t take advantage of the elephants like most places. I loved it here! Every second made my heart jump for joy.

If you’re looking for an ethically responsible and heartwarming experience in Phuket, The Lake Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is an absolute must-visit. I can’t recommend this sanctuary highly enough. It’s truly a sanctuary in every sense of the word, providing a safe haven for elephants who have been rescued from harsh and exploitative conditions.
From the moment you step into the sanctuary, you’re immersed in an environment that truly respects and cares for the well-being of these magnificent creatures. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated to creating a safe space for these gentle giants, sharing insightful stories and facts about each elephant’s journey and unique personality. Their emphasis on ethical tourism is clear — no riding, no tricks, just elephants living naturally and peacefully.
The sanctuary offers an incredible up-close opportunity to interact with the elephants in a way that feels natural and respectful. You can feed them, observe them playing in the water, and even walk alongside them through the beautiful jungle surroundings. It’s an emotional experience to see the elephants enjoying freedom and forming bonds with their caretakers and each other, free from the trauma they once faced.
The Lake Phuket Elephant Sanctuary also stands out for its commitment to education and conservation. They work tirelessly to raise awareness about the plight of captive elephants in Thailand and to create sustainable tourism alternatives. The team there truly goes above and beyond, not just caring for the elephants but also striving to educate every visitor on how they can support ethical animal tourism.
In short, visiting The Lake Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is more than just an excursion — it’s an inspiring journey that stays with you long after you leave. If you’re in Phuket and want to support responsible tourism, don’t miss this sanctuary. It’s a remarkable experience you won’t forget.
