The Elephant Retirement Park Phuket is a caring wildlife sanctuary for retired & rescued elephants that are free to roam, graze & swim in the natural surroundings.
The sole focus is to promote the well-being of the elephants. Strictly no abuse policy & absolutely no riding.
We welcome you to come visit for a truly amazing time and experience the joy and excitement of walking, feeding, bathing & learning about the wonderful elephants!
We look forward to seeing you soon!
“Amazing! You prepare their food, then fed them. Rub them with mud and wash them and yourself. They’re so gentle and beautiful. One is expecting a baby in one month so I’m a tad envious of those visiting after the grand event. This is a ‘must do’. These are rescued elephants, not for riding or tricks. Each has its own story.”
