Naidee Elephant Care Park Phuket Half Day Tour

Thousands and thousands of elephants have been living in Thailand for many decades. In the recent years, the number of these gentle animals has been greatly reduced. In 1950, there were still about 50,000 elephants, whilst today there are only 3,000 to 3,500 left. The main reason for this is clearing of woods and forests, which often takes the lives of these fascinating animals. Elephant Care Park Phuket is an ethical elephant sanctuary located in Thalang, Phuket, Thailand. This sanctuary is dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of elephants, offering visitors a chance to interact with these majestic animals in a natural, respectful, and cruelty-free setting. Unlike traditional elephant tourism, there are no elephant rides or shows—instead, the focus is on education, care, and meaningful interaction that supports both the elephants' well-being and local communities.
