Phuket Elephant Care at Tonsai Elephant Sanctuary Park Patong

My 10 year old grandson had the best time in the water with the young staff and the elephants. He laughed all the time

Great experience, feeding them, walking and interacting with them, mud bath with them followed by a bath in the little dam. Staff were very accommodating, friendly and pleasant.

Was a great day out and staff were very friendly and accommodating. The elephants roamed free and seemed very happy in forest environments. We fed them, walked with them freely, we let them have some time and had a break as they got a bit excited then once calm we went back out and did mud bathing and showering/washing the elephants in the lake. We finished with a Thai cooking class and had some additional tasty Thai food! Was amazing would definitely recommend

This was awesome. Highly exceeded our high expectations! Serene, calm, not rushed time hanging out with a couple elephants. Fun feeding and great walk with them. The mud bath they seemed to like, and scrubbing them in their swimming hole after the mud bath was pure enjoyment for the elephants and us. The elephant would have stayed even longer if we would have! The cooking demonstration was also great, and there was tons of delicious food for us to eat highly highly recommend this elephant sanctuary!

I booked this tour because I wanted somewhere that seemed to treat the elephants well but still allowed contact. Additionally, I wanted a small group situation. The location is convenient to the western shores of Phuket. Transportation was provided on this ticket to and from the sanctuary from our hotel. We arrived and soon were feeding the elephants by hand. It was so cool. They have 3 elephants. One adult female and an 8 year old female and a 7 year old male. They are very hungry all the time apparently. We fed them fruit into their mouths or they could take from your hand with the trunk. Then we walked with them and just observed them eating which was cool to see them foraging on their own time and pace. Then we gave them a mud bath, which they seemed to enjoy and it helps their skin. Afterwards, we rinsed them off in a clean pond/river. Then we took personal showers and had very yummy Thai food. It was so very amazing. I highly recommend.

Nice experience with three Elephants that enjoyed getting food from us. Friendly staff and so close to the village of Patong
