Koh Phangan's First Ethical Elephant Sanctuary

Hello and a warm welcome to Koh Phangan's very first ethical elephant sanctuary, which has finally opened!

Come and join us at Phangan Elephant Sanctuary for a unique experience, where you can spend quality time with a small herd of elephants that have been rescued and now live harmoniously as a family. Witness the elephants relishing their newfound freedom with awe and delight as they communicate through joyful trumpets, engaging in playful activities and exploring their lush jungle habitat.

As a guest, you can anticipate a meaningful and eco-friendly encounter with these magnificent creatures within a small group setting. You will have the chance to personally feed the elephants, accompany them on jungle trails as they forage for food, and observe their interactions with one another as they indulge in a mud bath and engage in playful splashing in their pool. By visiting us, you will also be actively contributing to sustainable and ethical elephant tourism practices.

Elephants do not have a voice, so we want to be their voice by not tolerating

Perfekt ! Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich zu uns und haben auch eine Menge erzählt über die Elefanten die sie gerettet haben. Wir konnten den Elefanten füttern und haben auch ein kleinen Spaziergang gemacht. Es war wunderschön und ich würde es jedem empfehlen. Ich würde auf jeden Fall noch mal kommen. Danke an das Team !

Wir haben die Elephant Sanctuary über Google gefunden und waren begeistert, dass sie nur 9 Minuten mit dem Roller von Chaloklum entfernt war. Beim Betreten wurden wir freundlich begrüßt und mit den Preisen vertraut gemacht. Die Fütterung dauerte insgesamt eine Stunde. Zunächst haben wir einen Elefanten mit Früchten gefüttert, dann Essen für die Elefanten vorbereitet und sind danach spazieren gegangen. Im Preis inbegriffen waren Snacks, Wasser und Kaffee, was uns sehr gefreut hat. Unsere Erfahrung in der Elephant Sanctuary war wunderbar und wir möchten sie gerne weiterempfehlen. Die Sanctuary hat erst kürzlich eröffnet und hat derzeit zwei Elefanten.

Had a great time at Phangan Elephant sanctuary. At first you are allowed to feed the elephants with various fruits while the keepers tell you about their past and how they‘re treated. Afterwards you have a „cooking class“, where you prepare small nutritionballs for them. Then we had a small walk with the giants in their natural habitat. You can feel the joy and thankfullness of the elephants. It was such a nice trip and we recommend it. It is a must do when visiting phangan and teaches you about the greatness of nature.
