Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, Animal sanctuary in Paklok, Thailand
Located within 30 acres of tropical land, Phuket Elephant Sanctuary provides a natural habitat for rescued elephants with a 600-meter elevated walkway for observation.
The sanctuary began operations in 2019 as the first ethical elephant refuge in Phuket, focusing on rescuing elephants from logging operations and tourism activities.
Each elephant at the sanctuary carries a name and background story that reflects Thai traditions, connecting visitors to the regional heritage of elephant conservation.
The facility offers morning and afternoon guided tours with advance reservations required, including transportation services from Phuket accommodations between 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM.
A specialized canopy walkway stands 6 meters above ground, enabling visitors to observe elephants without disturbing their natural behaviors or causing stress.
