Experience yourself with a half day care or be volonteering at Phuket elephant Retirement Park
The elephant has been a contributor to Thai society and its icon for many centuries. In Thai society elephants have played a substantial role in manual labour, war, royal iconography, and the tourism industry. For thousands of years, elephants were captured and trained to be a form of transport and heavy labour. It’s common knowledge that elephants in Thailand are often abused and tortured for human gain. These responsible elephant experiences swerve well away from these practices, offering a natural way to get up-close to these incredible creatures.
