Phuket Elephant Sanctuary

[@arthurcheek5634]

Been here about 2 years ago, they are absolute saints and look after the elephants so so well. Couldn’t recommend enough

[@СергейПетров-ь7ч9щ]

That is the best place for elephants in Phuket.

Когда ехала в Биг Будду, по дороге увидела слонов. Сначала обрадовалась. Но когда увидела на них цепи, палку с косой для битья у смотрящего рядом, присмотревшись, поняла что они там как рабы и мне стало невероятно грустно. Решила найти место, где слонам хорошо. В итоге нашла данный центр реабилитации слонов. Он находится в Пхукете. Существуют на свои деньги и деньги от туристов. Выкупают старых, больных слонов. Не могу даже представить, как они выжили в период короны. От видео, какое у них было прошлое наворачиваются слезы. К сожалению, туристов у них не так много, чем в тех местах, где их жестоко используют и заставляют работать побоями и кнутами, а русскоговорящих и того меньше. Даже видео и гиды - только на английском, потому что наших людей практически там нет. Пишу специально подробный отзыв, потому что только вчера там была, возможно многие люди не осознают какой жестокостью они добиваются всех этих шоу, которые слоны показывают людям. Давайте лучше поддерживать хорошее дело и светлое будущее этих прекрасных животных, у который высокий интеллект и они понимают все

Спасибо большое за информацию! Долго искала именно такое место, где слоны в безопасности и в комфорте. Больно смотреть на то, как их используют ради туризма и денег. Еще больнее, что туристов в таких местах больше, чем тут.

My wife and I consciously went to this place to support this great initiative. We didn't visit any other private safaris because we don't want to support animal suffering. We told our friends about such a great opportunity for elephants and hope they'll share our point of view.

[@claucomeford6874]

I am in Thailand right now. I will be going there to volunteer for 3 days and there is not other place in Phuket where they really care about these beauties.

[@jamesmagee1561]

A beautiful experience, so lovely to see these beautiful/magnificent creatures in their natural environment feeling the love from everyone who is privileged to visit them, great work guys, absolutely loved it. We will be back again soon.

[@lastoutlaw3882]

[@hydro6917]

I love Elephants

[@justamarie9272]

I want to go to Thailand now because they give the elephants the respect now and finally want them to live free. Change is happening

[@iyankpurwoko5747]

i miss all the herds.

[@lastoutlaw3882]

[@СергейПетров-ь7ч9щ]

[@icebarpp6267]

Fabulous tube video

[@consbuhain7655]

Sana nilipat na lang dito si MALI, at least naging masaya siya kasama ibang elephants and maging at ease siya for its natural habitat, hindi yng isolated siya sa Manila Zoo for 5 decades😢

[@lazarusdouvos]

on your IG page it shows tourists in the water with the elephants

[@PeaceDoor1]

This is the only 1 ethical elephant sanctuary on Phuket. The ones where tourists bathe w elephants they have to be trained to not hurt the humans so the elephants are hurt in the training. So unfair. Only sanctuaries where elephants maintain their dignity and only have feeding interaction w tourists can call themselves ethical, with honesty.

[@justamarie9272]

I would pay to see them in their natural habitat. Not on the streets begging and people riding them. People will donate and be happy to come see happy elephants free

[@tracyleemekat3626]

how much the tour?

[@GeneralHeavy]

Great

[@mattwiggin9458]

i hope this is the truth

[@justamarie9272]

My father went years ago and saw how the elephants were treated. He hated thailand and spoke bad of the abuse the elephants go through. He saw a baby in crush and he could not contain his emotions 40 years later the memories are so fresh. He cannot contain is emotions still. As a American and sailor he wanted to murder the people and release that baby. He regrets he did nothing.

[@Automedon2]

Amanda, I can understand your father's anger and frustration.. 45 years ago, when I was just 17, I went to work on a circus. I have also seen bad treatment of elephants, although nothing as bad as the way the Thai elephants are treated, it was bad enough. I still have nightmares about it - it haunts me. To be very honest, when the tsunami hit Phuket, I cheered that the earth was taking vengeance on that evil place. I don't know why tourists continue to visit it. Those people have no souls that they could take the innocence of a baby animal and torture it. I am glad that there are some operators that are changing their ways, but there are still 3,000 elephants trapped in that nightmare in Thailand alone with many more in Cambodia, India and other Asian countries. China has imported hundreds of baby elephants from Africa and hire the Thai trainers to break their spirits. It's a horrible, evil spot on the planet.

[@christopheralonge7758]

These people abuse and torture these animals because they are frustrated with their own miserable existence. Any bastards that tortures or mistreated a baby elephant is a soulless son of a bitch and should rot in hell

[@PeaceDoor1]

Your comment isn’t about this place but about the places these elephants were rescued from. This is the only one we found after weeks of research that walks the talk of being a sanctuary.

[@zenoh2838]

so basically this sanctuary only have 1 elephant? lol

[@lindakrustina5100]

They don't have one elephant! At the moment they have less them 10 elephants, its not so easy to get elephants to this sanctuary, because they can rescue them only by buying them, and the owner ask about 1-3 milion Thai baths, it's a lot of money. I was living in Phuket for 3 months and visit them twice, it is truly amazing place for these elephans. They try to rescue more, but like I said it's not so easy. :)
