Your day, at a glance

Tour details

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.
