This is not the genuine elephant sanctuary in Phuket. I was saddened to realise this after completing the visit. The real one is located in Paklok and limits tourist contact with the elephants. This one did not do so and allowed bathing. I felt we were lied to throughout the visit, in regards to how they were intending to bring these elephants back to the wild, but there is no evidence of them doing so. Upon asking to see where they lived (the elephants were being taken elsewhere) we were told that we had to leave soon (despite a walk with the elephants being promised in the experience). We were also told (in person) there were 15 elephants however in reality there are only 4 (confirmed by website) and thus those 4 are continually used as entertainment for tourists despite what we were originally lead to believe. At the time I really enjoyed my visit and getting the chance to feed the elephants was fantastic. However my perception has been clouded by this realisation. Please do your research (unlike myself) before undertaking this experience.
Can I come there just for feed them and watch ? How much it cost ? If someone don’t wanna ride and all another traditions thinks to do ...
