  • Description

    Freedom Elephant Reserve was created with a mission to offer a peaceful retirement to former working elephants, where care is provided with minimal human interference and only observation-based interactions.

    This ethical sanctuary in Phuket focuses entirely on the well-being of the elephants, allowing them to roam freely in a natural environment without being used for shows, rides, or other exploitative activities.

    The Feed Me Experience offers a short but meaningful encounter, lasting around 35 to 45 minutes. Guests are invited to stay for up to an hour, during which they can feed a basket of fruit to the elephants, take photos, gently touch the trunk (but not hug or climb), and ask questions about their lives and history.

    This experience is especially suited for visitors with a tight schedule or limited budget, offering a rare chance to connect with elephants in a respectful, ethical way.

    Entry is available between 09:00 and 16:30. Visitors are required to arrange their own transport to the reserve.

Mr. Bikash Kumar

An amazing way to discover Bangkok. In krabi the stay was good.. Travel to nearby places were very good.. Hotel staff were very good.. In Phuket (Patong) the place was horrible.. The hotel you suggested was very bad..

Mr. DOBRUN BOJAN

I’ve been to Bangkok 3 times now and never really been that in love with the city but going on this tour gave a whole new appreciation for it, I saw places I’d never been, the temples at night are just amazing and so different to the crowded day scen

Mr. Kirsten Kalkbrenner

Just beautiful! I would highly recommend this tour!

Mr. IBRAHIM WAKILEH

We joined this tour on the first day of our trip to Thailand after landing the night before. It was perfect to have someone guide us around the city that first night as we were getting our bearings and experiencing a new place for the first time. Our
