    A good place to visit and experience these huge majestic animals. Do skip the touristy rides and circus shows and support the conservation efforts by this sanctuary. All the elephants here are rescues and the team takes great care of them. We were there for an hour, fed the elephants and watched them take a swim - but there are longer programs available which include showers with the elephants

    Great way to spend half a day with the elephants. Start with feeding the elephants, then a mud rub and finally a swim with the elephants. More humane way to treat elephants than riding on them or asking them to perform tricks.

    We chose the best place to go and see the elephants in Phuket🔝♥️ They are picking you from the accommodation and they also bring you back. The tour includes feeding, mud bath and washing the elephants. You also get free pictures taken by their stuff who is very supportive and also takes you through the elephants lifestyle and needs. 🐘 🌳At the end of the tour they serve a meal with traditional and European food options. Part of the experience is also a short cooking class where they show you how easy it is to cook their traditional pad thai.

    Incredible experience. I learned a lot about elephants, got to prepare food and feed them, give them mud baths, showers and brushing and go swimming with them. And we ate a yummy Thai lunch afterwards too. EJS runs a wonderful operation giving rescued elephants a second chance at life and peace. I went to the Phuket location and recommend this experience for anyone. Our guides Eddie and Mr. Kevin enhanced the experience sharing knowledge, jokes and taking great photos. And the mahouts were attentive, making sure all guests and elephants were safe. 10/10 stars. A+.

    The best part of our trip to Phuket. Our host K was amazing at explaining how they care and rescue the elephants, as well as some brief history on them. The animals look well cared for and every elephant has their own caretaker. Highly recommend supporting this great sanctuary!

    Staff were great in taking care of us and the elephants, letting us know how they live and how they are rescued. Great experience all in all.

    The most beautiful experience ever. Our guides Minti and Skye wher fabulous and informative. We were able to feed the elephants, give them a mud bath, and then hose off. These are all rescue elephants and to see them so happy was wonderful.

    This was an amazing experience!! We went for the Afternoon experience package. We booked on a travel website as it was a bit cheaper. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped back (part of the package) We were able to feed the elephants, give them a mud bath and bathe with them! It was such a good experience, they are well looked after. Eddie was our guide and he was great, so were all the staff! Couldn’t recommend them enough! After that they show you how to cook Pad Thai, then you have an Asian lunch! Great experience for the money! Good value for what you get to do!

😠 It was amazing to be so close to these incredible animals but this is 100% not a sanctuary. The company is clearly profiteering off of these animals who are kept in tiny pens and forced to perform for tourists all day long. One of the elephants was rocking back and forth in distress the whole time...
