Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Bukit Elephant Park is located in Chalong, in southern Phuket, and is run by a team with over twenty years of experience in elephant care. The park is home to eight elephants and is certified according to the Asian Captive Elephant Standards (ACES). The park's concept focuses on feeding and observing the animals. Elephant riding and bathing are not offered for the welfare of the animals and the safety of visitors.

The main program, "Elephant Nature," lasts three to three and a half hours (9:00 AM to 12:30 PM or 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM) and costs 2,700 baht for adults and 1,500 baht for children. Participants feed the elephants bananas, learn about their history, see a demonstration of rubber tapping and coconut milk production, and enjoy a Thai lunch while the elephants play in the water. Two shorter, 90-minute programs, "Walk and Feeding" (1,600 baht) and "Mini Elephant Nature" (1,400 baht), also include feeding and explanations of the elephants' history.
