This
was
an
ethical
elephant
experience
that
we
truly
enjoyed.
We
had
an
amazing
time
where
we
learned
so
much
about
the
torture
and
harm
many
Thai
elephants
are
subjected
to
and
how
this
organization
is
trying
to
give
a
happy
and
peaceful
final
home
for
elephants
who
have
more
than
earned
their
reprieve
from
abuse.
We
chose
a
package
with
pick
up
from
our
resort.
We
were
driven
to
the
check
in
center
and
then
transferred
to
the
actual
sanctuary.
From
there
we
were
given
a
great
assortment
of
snacks
and
watched
an
informative
video
on
how
the
sanctuary
came
into
existence
and
how
to
be
safe
around
the
elephants
and
keep
them
safe
as
well
while
in
the
park.
We
were
then
split
into
groups
and
our
guide
led
us
through
the
park
where
we
got
to
see
the
elephants
up
close,
but
still
remained
a
respectful
distance.
Then
we
were
able
to
view
the
elephants
from
the
canopy
walkways.
At
the
end
we
were
given
a
great
buffet
style
lunch
and
driven
back
to
the
check
in
center,
then
our
resort.
We
were
so
glad
we
came
to
Phuket
Elephant
Sanctuary
and
that
this
place
exists
to
give
elephants
the
chance
to
lead
a
happy,
peaceful
life.
With
so
many
places
in
Phuket
exploiting
and
abusing
elephants
it
is
really
nice
to
see
Phuket
Elephant
Sanctuary
offer
a
place
where
the
animals
are
at
peace
and
relieved
from
the
grueling
labor
or
giving
rides
to
tourists,
performing
in
circuses
or
the
logging
industry.
These
animals
deserve
our
utmost
respect
and
lead
a
dignified
and
happy
life.
