The Phuket Elephant Sanctuary

Rescued elephants in a natural setting, and a close look at ethical wildlife conservation in Phuket.

Wat Chalong Morning Ritual

The peaceful rhythm of morning prayers at Phuket's most revered Buddhist temple, and the island's enduring spiritual traditions.

The Phuket Elephant Sanctuary is a conservation initiative providing rescued elephants with a safe environment. Each elephant's journey, from rescue through rehabilitation to ongoing care, is part of what visitors learn on the visit.

 

Observe the elephants at close range and see what responsible elephant tourism looks like in practice, part of the wider effort to protect Thailand's wildlife.
