There are few elephant farms in Thailand that really take care of these wonderful beasts and we were fortunate to find this wonderful location. It’s ver hard time for these kinds of places to continue to feed these majestic animals. If you’re living in Thailand during the lockdown, come and help donate towards food.…

Many thanks for your kind comments. We hope to get back to normal eventually once this crisis has passed. All of our elephants are fit and well at this difficult time. Best wishes Jake Please Note Covid-19 has resulted in the temporary closure of Phang Nga Elephant Park and there will be no visitors and no tourism permitted for weeks or possibly months ahead. We survive as an ethical elephant park only through the visits of our guests and by offering a wonderful opportunity to meet our elephants and to learn something about their care, their endangered status and their importance in Thai culture. So please do follow us on Facebook for information and updates - we do need your support at this difficult time. Jake (jakrapob@phangngaelephantpark.com)

We visited this park in March 2020, this trip was overwhelming, we had a fantastic experience with Tong - Sri a 38 year old female elephant from feeding her to bathing her was something we will never forget this is a must do trip for everyone, the welfare of these wonderful animals is paramount to the staff at the park they don’t allow people to ride on the elephants or tether them that’s why we were attracted to visiting the park, our guide Alex was very professional in every way, she explained every detail, this is a must do for everyone, we cannot wait to return to Thailand and the elephant park, Phil & Donna Uk…

Just great. We had so much fun. The staff were super friendly and relaxed. We never thought that you could get so close to elephants. And apparently, the animals are doing really well there and they are being well looked after.

Thanks for writing and for these kind comments. We believe strongly in human-elephant interaction and in explaining to our visitors about the importance of animal welfare, elephant health and husbandry and the importance of the elephant in Thai culture. I hope one day we will see you again.

Another wonderful day spent here with well looked after and happy elephants, caring mahouts and interesting, delightful guides. No riding, you walk with these majestic and calm creatures, see how they are checked daily, feed them and bathe them. Our mahout was so lovely and took pictures for us, and all the elephants were well fed, healthy and calm. There was no swaying or ear flapping. We can not recommend this experience enough - worth every penny…
