  What and experience!!! The drive was about an hour since we were staying in Karon beach but it was a nice drive. I believe the Lake is located closer to the airport. Upon arrival, I was so excited. We enjoyed the lunch and participating in making a Thai dressing. So good! I don't want to detail the entire experience but we loved seeing these beauties up close and feeding them. I definitely would recommend this experience.

• Great Experience

  4/5 because the description on Viator's website didn't explicitly state that we would be petting the elephants, feeding them, and that we had the option to go into the water and brush them - which threw us for a loop when we got a notification to bring a swimsuit, a change of clothes, and a towel. We should have looked closer at the photos from other reviewers. As for the actual experience itself, we received an email the day before telling us the pick up window and what to bring. Forecast that morning showed that some rainshowers were expected, so it was going to be a really muggy day. Bug spray is an absolute must! When we arrived at the sanctuary, they were kind enough to let us borrow umbrellas during the brief downpour. We started off the day with the cooking class. We made payaya salad in our individual groups, which we then proceeded to eat with our buffet lunch. Afterwards, we given a lesson on the different types of elephants as well as the specific elephants at the sanctuary. Next, we were given the opportunity to cut sugar cane, which we then carried over and fed to their elephants. After a scenic walk, where we saw more elephants, we headed back to the starting point, where we had the option to go into the water and brush the elephants (or observe from a distance). There were many photo opportunities throughout the experience. The day ended after people had the chance to shower and change their clothes. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and everyone at the sanctuary was lovely. They also took their own pictures, which they shared via whatsapp if people wanted a copy. Other notes: water, wifi, and lockers are available.

• Genuine ethical compassion and care. Highly recommended

  This is an amazing opportunity to spend quality time with these magnificent creatures. Daeng and his team are passionate about the elephants they care for. Go early as fewer people go in the morning. We chopped sugar cane , fed the elephants, walked with them and bathed them in the lake. We also had a quick cookery lesson and made Thai salad to go with our lunch which was really tasty and plentiful. I recommend this as a genuine ethical compassionate elephant experience. One I will never forget. Please ignore the others and book this, no elephant riding but respect and compassion for their rescued elephants. Daeng is knowledgeable and funny and has excellent English so you learn a lot.

• A must do in Phuket!!

  This was our favorite experience in Thailand, hands down. Deng, the man who runs the sanctuary is so knowledgeable and the way he and the other employees love and respect the elephants is a thing of beauty. You get to feed the elephants, bathe and play with them and you get a delicious lunch. Don't hesitate, book this experience!!!
