About
The Phang Nga Elephant Park is a small family-run park. Our family has cared for elephants for over 150 years and we opened the park in 2015 so that we could keep our elephants in a caring and stress-free environment and give our visitors an extraordinary and life-enhancing experience. We are dedicated to providing our elephants with the highest quality of life possible and our strong belief in human-elephant interaction is what makes the Phang Nga Elephant Park so special.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

JUST “WOW” must do experience!!!
Nov 2023 • Couples
Wow! I have to say this was THE best thing we have done so far on our Thailand trip! The volunteers Anna & Matt are so friendly and knowledgeable and all the staff even though they speak limited English were wonderful and friendly. You could see the elephants were very happy and well cared for and loved to be fed the bananas and play in the rock pool. If you do 1 thing in Khao Lak you MUST do this!!!

Dream visit.
Oct 2023 • Couples
Absolutely brilliant! If you love elephants or indeed wildlife, this is a must! Reliant on charity they do fantastic work looking after 8 elephants. You get up and close, walking with them into the jungle, feeding them bananas and pineapples and fonallybathing with them. You get your own personal elephant and handler whilst your there. Drinks and lunch can be provided.
Must do activity.

Highlight of our holiday
Sep 2023 • Family
Our family of four (kids aged 7 and 9) loved our trip to Phang Nga Elephant Park. Highly recommend booking a visit directly through them - it is more expensive but worth every cent, and also helps them recover post covid. Unless you do a visit directly with them, you won't understand how each elephant came to be there, their personalities and the challenges of caring for elephants in a country who has a long history of using elephants to work.

We had been there before many years ago when my daughter was little, so this was a return visit. This time, the kids loved walking with the two elephants and then feeding them, as well as bathing them.

A shoutout to Matt who was a fantastic guide, and clearly loves the elephants there (or the "girls" as he kept referring to them as). His joy and enthusiasm was contagious.

Definitely a highlight of our trip.

Incredible experience!
Oct 2023 • Couples
An amazing experience with knowledgeable guides who are so passionate and helpful. We learnt so much and had a great time feeding and swimming with the elephants with a delicious Thai lunch to follow. The guides were happy to take photos so we could fully enjoy our time! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic Day
Aug 2023
One of the best experiances we have ever done. My husband and myself did the dawn experiance and it was nothing short of magical. Going up into the jungle to get out elephant Priska (so majestic) was an experiance we will never forget. Hamdlers are amasing and Anna our guide/ host for the morning was a wealth of knowlage. Can not reccomend this highly enough. Simply amazing. Elephants treated so well and are clearly loved by all the staff. Will deffinetly be returning to the park when we are in Thailand next.

Phenomenal! Phang Nga Elephant Park Dawn Experience.
Aug 2023 • Family
Just had the most amazing morning at the Phang Nga Elephant Park, which started with us being picked up from our hotel @ 6:30 a.m.
On arrival at the Park, we were introduced to our English guide Ellen, who then led us on a short trek into the rainforest to meet our companion for the morning, Priska the elephant! 🐘
We then headed to the river, where Priska was washed down by her handler, after having spent her night foraging in the forest. Returning to the Park HQ, we then watched Priska have a quick check-up to make sure she hadn’t picked up any wounds or scratches whilst out foraging, before following her into a small ‘bathing’ pool, where we were able to give her a good scrubbing down, which she evidently really enjoyed! Wow!
Finally, we were treated to a Thai breakfast, before being dropped back to our hotel @ 11:30.
All in all a truly wonderful experience, and definitely worth a visit if you get the chance!

Great family half day
Jul 2023 • Family
It was an amazing experience. The elephants are beautiful and our guide Ellen clearly loved the park and the animals. We bathed and fed the elephant - we had a 6 and a 15 year old with us, and both enjoyed the experience.

A fantastic morning with the elephants
Jun 2023 • Family
We travelled with a group of 13 of us including young children and toddlers. We all had an absolutely wonderful time. Due to the variety of ages in our group we chose the special introduction tour and could not have been happier. Anna was the perfect guide and was happy to answer any questions that we had. The family is doing such good things and we were happy to support them to be able to continue such important work.

Ethical and inspiring ❤️🐘
May 2023 • Couples
Ethical, caring, educational and simply inspiring. This park is a fabulous example of keeping the elephants in a safe and natural environment whilst enabling control interactions with guests.

We had an incredible time trekking through the
jungle jungle to find our beautiful elephant. Janna. We were privileged to be in a tiny group of 4, so the experience was very personal and more enjoyable.

The guide and mahout were very kind both with us - helping us navigate the jungle and the elephants.

After walking them to to park we fed them bananas and pineapple, watched the Mahout conduct a health check, then bathed and scrubbed them down.

It was a privilege to be up close with these majestic creatures.

Well done Phang Nga Elephant Park - you are doing a great job. Proudly doing your part to encourage ethical animal tourism.
