Phuket Elephant Care @ Loch Palm — Attraction in Ko Kaeo

We really enjoyed being with the elephants here! They were treated nicely and with respect from elephant care, loch palm!

Of course be mindful when bringing children to treat these beautiful creatures and place with respect too and following the safety procedures! If you’re a true animal lover, you’ll feel a little pain when you hear what the elephants have been through, some even still perform old tricks cause it’s been imbedded in their memory which is so sad! But knowing they have been rescued by this place gives us a sense of relief that they are on their healing journey with much food and space! Shoutout to our guide host Toto, who’s really friendly and funny! We did the half day program which was just enough for us!

Some additional feedback: Maybe in future, the only thing we would recommend having changed is the amount of families to allow one person from each group for the cooking part as we weren’t able to partake in all because some tourists that weren’t considerate towards others rushed their children to get a frying pan each. Maybe they can provide a private family tour instead for those tourists…

We would definitely come back again to see the granny who’s over 60 years old!!!...

The guide (I forgot his name) and the staff are very welcoming, friendly, and also highly experience with elephant.

The elephant was taken care very well, this elephant care is very ethical in my opinion.

We got to experience making elephant food, feed them, chilling in a mud with them, shower and also swimming with them. After some elephant experience, we cooked thai food: pad thai and somtum! And in the end we got to make our own souvenir!

Not to mention that we’re so lucky coz we can meet Isabella the cute little baby elephant.

Better yet, there’s a dedicated staff who make a photo & video for free for us❤️ so keep your phone away and focus on the experience👌🏼

There’s a locker, fresh towel, shampoo, soap, and amazing buffet provided! Totally recommended and worth...

Great experience and I highly recommend to do the feedings and spa - the muddy bath was so much fun and I have amazing pictures also from the elephant shower. 😄

There are more elephants cares in Phuket but this one is really nice, new, and not so crowded. 👍Although I haven’t been to the others.

In February 2024 they had also 2 baby elephants so great for the kids. 🐘🐘
