Phuket
Only ethical sanctuaries make this list: no riding, no bathing shows, no tricks. Phuket’s genuine parks care for elephants retired from logging and trekking camps, and you feed and observe them at a respectful distance. Book ahead; small group sizes are part of what makes these places good.
Experience ethical elephant feeding at Phuket’s Elephant Jungle Sanctuary, where you can connect with gentle giants responsibly in a lush, well-maintained environment.
