Description

Good to Know

Your journey will include a new and animal-friendly experience with the elephants through living with them in a peaceful sanctuary. Safety and sanitization are our first priorities; thus, elephant riding and bathing activities are not offered here. We work with professional mahouts to take care of elephants and refrain from any forms of cruelty. Since you are in Thailand, we would like you to learn a little bit of Thai culture. The journey will take you to get an authentic experience of traditional Thai culture through activities like rubber tapping, making coconut milk, and Thai food cooking sessions. This unique and astonishing journey is only available here at Bukit Elephant Park.

Excellent

It was a last minute booking but well worth the trip. We stayed in the north of phuket island so it was quite a journey with the traffic. It was a well run sanctuary. Kids enjoyed feeding the elephants. We learnt a lot about the rescue of elephants and the personalities of the different elephants. It was sad to hear about the distress the elephants went through. We learnt a bit of rubber tapping and finally we were treated to lunch. The food was very tasty simple. Great value for money. It is a ...read more

Great value & educational

Pukky was a wonderful guide, full of knowledge and respect for the elephants. I would recommend this tour as the owners focus on elephant rescue, have good care takers, and truly allow the elephants to enjoy their retirements from their previous lives as circus acts and elephant rides. We also were delighted to see a coconut shaving and milk extraction demo. We ended our educational elephant morning visit with a Thai cooking lesson before having a delicious authentic Thai lunch.

Wonderful experience, excellent guide.

From the beginning of the tour, it is clear just how well-cared for the elephants are. It’s so amazing to observe the elephants and hear their stories. Siri was a fantastic guide; answering questions, giving clear information, caring for her tour party and even showing us how to cook. She made the experience even more special.

Make the best memories with your family!

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. We got to be close to elephants without any fear of the treatment they’ve had to endure to allow it. The best kind of eco tourism. Watching them bathe and hand feeding them was really special. Learning their stories and the wonderful guide, Siri, was the icing on the cake. Thank you Bukit for a special morning making the best memories and a very good lunch 😊
