A visit to the Green Elephant Park is one of the most rewarding experiences in Phuket. Not only will you get to see them from a few metres away, but you'll also be helping to protect them. This park is dedicated to rescuing and protecting elephants from across Thailand, providing them a safe haven where they can thrive in natural surroundings.
Heading into the rainforest, you'll pass remote beaches and rolling hills before arriving at the shelter. The park focuses on the importance of conservation and the role it plays in the rehabilitation and survival of these endangered species. You'll have the opportunity to watch the workers feeding the elephants, which has helped create a respectful connection with these gentle giants and the people who've dedicated their lives to protect them.
A walk through the shelter's leafy rainforest offers a chance to see the elephants in a habitat that closely mimics their natural environment. You'll also get to observe bathing routines and natural behaviours from a respectful distance. You'll end the experience indulging in a buffet of traditional Thai dishes.
