"Ethical Elephant Experiences in Phuket"

About Us

Phuket Elephant Conservation is a small eco-friendly elephant centre in Phuket, run by the 6th generation of a family who has cared for elephants for over 160 years—passing down knowledge and compassion for Asian elephants through generations.

Animal welfare is the core of everything we do. We believe that responsible and ethical elephant tourism can play a vital role in the survival of the Asian elephant, but only through the highest standards of care and compassion. We oppose any unnatural or abusive practices and are dedicated to continually improving elephant welfare and promoting education.
