Phuket Elephant Jungle Sanctuary - Feed And Shower Experience
Our one-of-a-kind Feed and Shower experience offers visitors a unique and meaningful opportunity to interact with rescued elephants in a safe, ethical, and respectful way.
Begin by meeting our gentle giants and observing their natural behaviors in a calm, open environment. You’ll then have the chance to feed them a variety of fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables—learning more about their diets and individual preferences along the way. This hands-on feeding session is a rewarding way to connect and build trust.
The experience continues with an unforgettable moment: joining the elephants as they cool off in our specially designed outdoor elephant shower, which mimics the feeling of natural rainfall. Here, you’ll help gently scrub the elephants under the refreshing water, contributing to their daily care and wellbeing.
Perfect for animal lovers and families alike, the Feed and Shower experience blends education, conservation, and emotional connection into an hour you won’t forget.

Veterinary Care
At Elephant Jungle Sanctuary, our mission is to provide as many elephants as possible with the life they deserve—one filled with freedom, health, happiness, and dignity. We believe that every elephant should live in a safe and natural environment, free from exploitation and harm.
Our dedicated team works tirelessly each day to ensure the highest standards of care for the elephants who call our sanctuary home. This includes providing nutritious food, regular health checkups, enrichment activities, and a stress-free habitat where they can roam, bathe, and socialize as they would in the wild.
We approach elephant care with patience, compassion, and respect, taking time to build strong bonds based on mutual trust. These relationships allow us to better understand each elephant's unique personality and needs, and in turn, offer meaningful, ethical experiences to our visitors.
Through education and immersive programs, we aim to inspire compassion and raise awareness about the importance of ethical elephant tourism. Every visit supports our efforts in long-term conservation and helps protect elephants for future generations.

Customer Testimonials
Wunderschönes Erlebnis mit Elefanten!
Das war einer der schönsten Ausflüge, die wir je gemacht haben. Die Elefanten leben hier wirklich artgerecht - kein Reiten, kein Zwang, einfach nur Ruhe und Respekt. Wir konnten sie füttern, mit ihnen spazieren gehen und sie aus nächster Nahe erleben. Die Atmosphäre war total entspannt, nichts war überlaufen oder touristisch übertrieben. Auch die Guides waren super freundlich und haben viel über die Tiere und den Hintergrund des Projekts erzählt. Man merkt sofort: Hier steht das Wohl der Tiere an erster Stelle. Für alle, die Tiere lieben und auf verantwortungsvollen Tourismus Wert legen, ist das ein absolutes Muss. Danke an Phuket Travel Store für diese besondere Erfahrung!
Phi Phi Islands a blast!
We had the most amazing experience on the Phi Phi Islands X-Large Tour with Phuket Travel Store! Everything was seamless from start to finish. The team was super friendly, professional, and really cared about making sure everyone had a great time. The boat was clean and comfortable, and we appreciated the small group size — it never felt crowded. We visited all the highlights like Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, and Bamboo Island, with plenty of time to swim, snorkel, and relax. The water was crystal clear and full of marine life! What really stood out was the attention to detail and the knowledgeable guide who shared fun facts about the islands. Lunch was delicious, and the whole day felt like a dream. Highly recommend booking with Phuket Travel Store — this was by far the best tour we’ve done in Thailand!
Worth Every Baht – Stunning Views and Zero Crowds!
I chose one of the more premium tours from Phuket Travel Store that included an early start and scenic viewpoints — and it was absolutely worth it! The early departure meant we got to enjoy breathtaking locations without the crowds, which made the experience feel truly exclusive. Everything was well-organized, and the guide was both friendly and knowledgeable. The views were stunning, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the whole day was filled with fun and unforgettable moments. Highly recommend if you want a smooth, high-quality tour experience in Phuket!
