10 Things To Do in Phuket
5. Elephant Jungle Sanctuary

There are some exceptions, however, including Phuket’s elephant jungle sanctuary. The sanctuary takes in elephants that have been rescued from cruel owners and then given a place to live where they are treated well. It is much better to see them in an environment where they are happy and can live a life closer to one that they would live in in the wild.
