Loch Palm Sanctuary

Mountain magic in the clouds

Nestled amidst the lush greenery of Loch Palm, Phuket Elephant Care sanctuary offers a unique opportunity to connect with these magnificent creatures. Unlike sanctuaries with a one-size-fits-all approach, Phuket Elephant Care caters to your individual preferences by providing a variety of programs, excluding the full-day experience. This allows you to create a personalized encounter that seamlessly fits into your Phuket itinerary, whether you're short on time or simply want a focused experience.

Naithon Sanctuary

Experience the wild side of Phuket

Tucked away in Naithon, Phuket Elephant Care sanctuary stands out for being the island's biggest sanctuary. We offer a one-of-a-kind "full day explorer program," perfect for those who want to truly connect with these gentle giants. Here, these gentle giants are no longer burdened by a history of toil in logging or tourist entertainment. Instead, the sanctuary prioritizes their well-being, offering a sprawling sanctuary that closely resembles their natural habitat.
