👍👍 A truly elephant-friendly venue advocating for a hands-off experience where you go to observe the elephants living and enjoying lives in natural environment without human interference, the contrary to entertainment-based elephant venues where these wild creatures are forced to performed long hours f...

Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Pattaya Camp 1
Wildlife refuge
👍👍 A elephant sanctuary like no others. Don’t expect to ride on elephant here, or doing circus to entertain you. Instead you are allowed to feed them, mud bath and washing them. A great experience spending time with elephant. The lunch was delicious too.

Elephant Care Park Nai Dee Phuket
Animal shelter
😠 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...

We hung out with 2 elephants, made them rice balls, took them on a walk and bathed them. The elephants were the friendliest gentle giants! They love to...

Umphang Wildlife Sanctuary
Wildlife refuge
😠 Almost 99% of the road to the base camp is concrete. In comparison with other rural mountain roads in the province this one is easy and not so steep. Local villagers, children as well ride their small motorcycles - two or three persons on the same bike, usually without helmet. But for others it is...

🫤 Perfect if you're looking for an elephant show designed for tourists with emphasis on photo ops. Skip it if you're looking for elephants living freely in sanctuary. Offers the same activities that every other elephant tour advertises (feeding, walking, bathing, etc). Entire experience felt like a...
