Full description

This is a 1.5-hour experience in Phuket. It is run by Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Sumo has six fifteen-day tournaments a year, in Tokyo in January, May and September, Osaka in March, Nagoya in July and Fukuoka in November; tickets for the top division from about 15:00 are the hard ones to get. Outside tournaments, morning practice at a stable can be watched with a guide who knows which stables allow it and the strict etiquette. Kabuki at the Kabukiza in Ginza sells single-act tickets on the day for an hour of the four-hour programme, with an English earphone guide. Baseball at the Tokyo Dome or Koshien is a summer evening with the crowd's synchronised chants.

The price covers Pickup and drop-off, Tour guide, Elephant feeding session and Elephant shower. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Hotel pickup in Phuket. Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Includes

  • Pickup and drop-off
  • Tour guide
  • Elephant feeding session

Our family really enjoyed every minute and did not feel rushed at all.

A genuine once in a life time experience to get up close to these wonderful creatures who are so well treated and cared for at the Sanctuary (they are all rescues). Everything about this trip went smoothly from the hotel collection to our return. Nice touch that the refreshments onsite are provided for free. Highly recommended!!

This was an excellent experience from start to finish. Pick up and transport there and back was first class. The guide and staff were friendly and very informative and the elephants were just amazing. What a treat for young and old alike to feed and wash these magnificent creatures so close up. Loads of photos taken and the sanctuary photographer took loads too and will send them by email as included in price. Top marks for experience and value Steve

We had a very interesting and enjoyable experience at the elephant sanctuary. The activity was well organized, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and always available to answer any questions or curiosities we had about the elephants. It was great to learn more about these amazing animals and their behavior. The elephants are very well cared for and appear healthy, relaxed, and happy. You can clearly see the attention and respect given to their welfare. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Phuket and looking for an ethical and educational encounter with elephants.

This was one of the most emotional experiences of our trip. 🐘❤️ Feeding and washing the elephants at Elephant Jungle Sanctuary in Phuket was truly special. Seeing them treated with so much love and care really moved me. A beautiful place that focuses on the wellbeing of these gentle giants rather than entertainment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Phuket. Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
No riding. This camp lets you feed, walk beside and bathe the elephants without riding, hooks or chains, which is the line we draw before listing a camp. Wear clothes you do not mind getting muddy; a change of clothes and a towel are usually provided, and the mud is part of the day.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
Pickup and drop-off, Tour guide, Elephant feeding session, Elephant shower
The duration of the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Feed and Shower Trip in Phuket is typically 1.5 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.
Yes, once your booking is completed via our secure payment gateway, you will receive an instant confirmation email with your tour details, meeting point address, guide's name, and direct contact information. You can also view and manage your booking through your AsiaByLocals account dashboard.
Yes! All our private tours are fully customizable. Whether you want to add extra stops, skip certain locations, change the pace, or adjust the start time — simply let your guide know in advance or on the day. We aim to create a personalized experience tailored to your interests and energy level.
We offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a partial charge depending on the tour type. Weather-related cancellations for outdoor and boat tours are handled on a case-by-case basis, with full refunds or free rebooking offered when safety is a concern.
Most of our experiences are family-friendly and suitable for children of all ages. However, some tours involving extensive walking, water activities, or early morning starts may be better suited for children aged 5 and above. Please check the specific tour description for age recommendations, or contact us for personalized family itinerary advice.
After booking, you will receive detailed meeting point instructions via email. Most tours include complimentary hotel pickup within the central area. For tours without pickup, your confirmation email will include the exact address, Google Maps pin, and your guide's phone number for easy coordination. Guides typically arrive 10 minutes early and will message you on WhatsApp.
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, Apple Pay, and Razorpay for Indian cards.

Many hold government-issued tourism licenses, university degrees in history or cultural studies, and have years of experience leading tours for international travelers. Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
The dry season from November to April offers the best weather for island-hopping tours and beach activities. December to March is peak season with calm seas, perfect for Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay boat trips. May to October (monsoon) is quieter and cheaper but some boat tours may be affected by rough seas. See our Phuket travel guide for detailed month-by-month advice.
Phuket is one of Southeast Asia's safest tourist destinations with excellent infrastructure, friendly locals, and a strong tourist police presence. Standard precautions apply: use reputable transport, stay aware in crowded areas, and book verified tours through trusted platforms. For water activities, all our tours include safety equipment and experienced crew.
The top experiences include: the Phi Phi Islands for snorkeling and Maya Bay, Phang Nga Bay for dramatic limestone cliffs and James Bond Island, the Big Buddha for panoramic views, Wat Chalong temple, and the charming Phuket Old Town for street food and Sino-Portuguese architecture. See our things to do guide for the complete list.
Yes! Direct flights between Phuket and Bangkok take just 1 hour 20 minutes. We recommend 3–4 days in Phuket for island tours, then 2–3 days in Bangkok for temples, markets, and street food. Our local guides operate in both cities for seamless trip planning.
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering water sports before booking any speedboat tour or island-hopping excursion. While all our boats carry safety equipment and licensed crews, Thai hospital costs can be significant without coverage. Ensure your policy covers emergency medical evacuation and water activity accidents.
