点评:Such a wonderful sanctuary! Peaceful, clean and serene with beautiful, well-cared-for Elephants. No riding here. The staff was amazing, funny and kind. My new wife and I never felt unsafe while cuddling, mud-bathing, and splashing around with our enormous new friends! Be as involved as you want to be in the feeding, and bathing (full immersion highly-recommended). If you can love a happy dog--you will love meeting these gregarious Elephants! Make sure to do the longer session. Also, a nice yummy Thai lunch, coffee, and teas, as well as traditional shirts to borrow during the experience. There are showers for afterwards, as well as restrooms. Locker rental is available. They are so nice about taking as many photos of you as you'd like (with their equipment or your own phones even--safe from water-splashing, of course). We never felt rushed. The visit was organized, accommodating and safe. We even chewed on some fresh sugar cane while walking through the jungle canopy pathway with a 38 year old, rehabilitated beauty. Watch out for rugby-ball-sized droppings!
There was an English-speaking group as well as a Chinese-speaking group this day feb 2026. Sandals and a bathing suit worked perfectly for the day. It was extremely family-friendly with younger and smaller rescued animals to feed and love upon in what was more or less a "splash pad" at the very end before clean off. Also gorgeous herons and other birds fishing in the adjacent pond. Be ready for an Elephant kiss or two! Hone your oversized mortar and pestle skills (picture something the size of a baseball bat and medium size tree stump bowled-out) while making some rice and sea-salted banana balls to feed them. Oh and a quick bit of tie-dye in there too because, why not?! This was so, so very worth it. Many thanks to Kerchor Elephant Family Phuket, from Keith and Kelsey Arsenault :)
翻译:多么棒的大象保护区!宁静、干净、祥和,还有美丽且备受呵护的大象。这里不提供骑乘服务。工作人员热情友好、风趣幽默。我和我的新婚妻子与这些庞大的新朋友亲密接触、泥浴、嬉戏玩耍,从未感到任何不安全!您可以根据自己的意愿参与喂食和洗澡(强烈推荐全身浸入式体验)。如果您喜欢快乐的狗狗,那么您一定会爱上这些热情好客的大象!务必选择时长较长的体验项目。此外,这里还提供美味的泰式午餐、咖啡和茶,以及可供借用的传统泰式衬衫。体验结束后,您可以使用淋浴设施,此外还有洗手间。这里也提供储物柜租赁服务。工作人员非常乐意为您拍摄任意数量的照片(可以使用他们的设备,也可以使用您自己的手机——当然,前提是手机不会溅到水)。我们从未感到任何催促。整个参观过程安排妥当、周到细致且安全可靠。我们甚至一边嚼着新鲜的甘蔗,一边和一位38岁、经过康复的美丽大象一起漫步在丛林树冠小径上。小心橄榄球大小的粪便!
2026年2月的这一天,我们遇到了一个英语组和一个中文组。凉鞋和泳衣非常适合这一天。这里非常适合家庭出游,在最后一段类似“戏水池”的区域,你可以喂食和抚摸那些体型较小、更年轻的获救动物,然后再清洗干净。旁边池塘里还有美丽的苍鹭和其他鸟类在捕鱼。准备好被大象亲吻吧!你可以练习一下你的超大号研钵和研杵的使用技巧(想象一下,一个棒球棒大小、中等大小树桩形状的研钵),制作一些米饭和海盐香蕉球来喂它们。哦,对了,还可以快速地进行一下扎染,为什么不呢?!这一切都非常非常值得。来自 Keith 和 Kelsey Arsenault 的衷心感谢普吉岛 Kerchor Elephant Family :)
