Elephant Trekking in Phuket
Phuket Elephant Trekking is not cool anymore! Now comes the true ‘Ethical Elephant Sanctuaries‘, where elephants rescued from a terrible life of labour can finally be free. Note that ethical sanctuaries are not to be confused with Elephant camps where you get to bathe with the elephants.
It also encourages other old-fashioned trekking camps to switch to this more ethical activity. People love elephants so much – It would be silly to come to Phuket without taking the time to stop and admire some elephants. You don’t have to ride them but aren’t we all naturally attracted by these animals? So this is your chance to observe some of them very closely.
You get to learn about elephants and how things are finally changing. It’s slow, but you can tell people are happy about this new approach. They prepare food and soft medication for the animals while listening to the story. Read more about ethical elephant sanctuaries
