A wonderful sanctuary where they take great care of the elephants. No elephant tours, just detailed explanations. The elephants are simply amazing. Special thanks to the guide Katya, she helped with everything and shared so many interesting things not only about the elephants but also about Phuket and the Thai people in general!

We loved everything; the tour was perfectly organized. Everything was planned and went perfectly. We fed and bathed the elephants, and took all kinds of photos with them. A Russian guide was also waiting for us, provided towels after the bath, and prepared food for both the elephants and us. My daughter and I were thrilled.
