“They say an elephant never forgets.
What they don’t tell you is,
you never forget an elephant.”

Paklok, Phuket • Ethical Retirement Home

Phuket Elephant Sanctuary

Set within 30 acres of lush tropical jungle, Phuket Elephant Sanctuary offers a serene, non-intrusive retirement environment for elephants rescued from logging and tourism. Witness these gentle giants roam freely, bathe in freshwater ponds, and socialize naturally from Thailand’s longest canopy walkway.

Ethical Care Update: All feeding interactions have been discontinued to support natural behaviors.
