Green Elephant Sanctuary Park, Choeng Thale

Amazing place! Highly recommend this if you visit Thailand. Staff are amazing, friendly and you can tell they love their job. Fascinating to learn about the elephants and their relationship with their lifelong Mahout (carer) and the life they live. How refreshing to visit a tourist destination with no souvenir shop, no extra cost for professional photos and a beautiful Thai meal included at the end as part of your tour. Plenty of opportunity to feed, bath and pat this beautiful creature on your experience. Best experience in Thailand.

This was incredible! The food, the staff and the way they take care of the elephants is so amazing. If you are looking for an Elephant full experience, this is the right place and your money will be worth it. You will feed them, learn about their history and get to interact with them without riding them. The place was so clean, showers with warm water and they even provided shampoo and body wash. Highly recommend!

This experience was absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend a visit and will return the next time I'm in Phuket. It is very obvious that this is a true conservation facility. The guide was very good at explaining everything and she spoke very good English. There were a few photographers walking around taking pictures, but we took plenty ourselves. You start off with a brief, educational chat with the guide, then feed the elephants. You can, and will, take tons of pictures at this point. Next, we went to see the elephant enclosures that they stay in at night and when in need of medical care, along with the mahouts' (elephant caretakers) humble accommodations. After that, there's the mud bath with the elephants, the a wash in a pond, before finally heading to what could be best described as a car wash for elephants. Finally, you shower up and sit down for a great Thai lunch. To top it all off, the staff overheard that it was my daughter's birthday and they made her a birthday cake. I was honestly blown away by Green Elephant Sanctuary Park!

Amazing experience at Green Elephant Sanctuary Park! Cannot recommend more. From the activities with the elephants to the knowledge and generosity of the staff, every penny was well worth it! They also provide a buffet dinner for us at the end of the tour. They also took photos of us with the elephants, they are all free of charge too. Aside from this, I have also experienced and encountered the nicest people here. I booked a place online a day before the experience, the platform was really easy to use and very convenient. I was travelling alone so I decided to scooter there, but unfortunately my scooter ran out of fuel just 1min before the park, I called them and they immediately picked me up to the park. The staff was so kind and considerate, not only did they offered to fuel up my scooter and help bring my scooter to the park, they didn't even charge me anything for that. I am so grateful, thankful and so amazed by everything here 🐘 💕

The experience was absolutely phenomenal. The love, care and consideration for the elephants above all else is to be commended. The handlers are at all times mindful of their elephants and remove them from the situation if they are showing signs of being uncomfortable. The visit was highly informative and a genuinely amazing experience. Cannot recommend highly enough as an ethical elephant experience. On top of that, the Thai buffet was delicious!
