Ethical elephant encounter in Phuket! Hand-feed rescued elephants, enjoy a rain shower, and learn about Karen traditions.
The Feed & Shower Elephant program at Kerchor Elephant Family Phuket offers a unique window into the lives of these majestic creatures. Located in the natural landscape of Kathu, this sanctuary is a dedicated "no-riding" zone where the elephants' well-being and happiness come first. Founded by a Karen family with generations of elephant care heritage, the sanctuary provides a peaceful haven that mirrors the successful ethical models of Northern Thailand. This 90-minute experience is designed to be interactive yet respectful. You’ll start by changing into a traditional mahout outfit and learning about the sanctuary's mission to protect rescued elephants. Under the guidance of expert Karen mahouts, you will prepare healthy snacks and hand-feed the elephants, allowing you to observe their unique personalities up close. The highlight is the "Elephant Rain Shower," a joyful session where you help the elephants cool down in a natural setting. Unlike traditional bathing in deep mud pits, the rain shower is a refreshing activity that elephants genuinely love. This program is ideal for families and those with a busy Phuket itinerary who still want to support ethical tourism and create lasting memories with these gentle giants.
