The ‘Watch Me’ program offers a unique opportunity to observe elephants in their natural habitat from a respectful distance, ensuring an ethical and educational experience.

Elephant Sanctuary’s ‘Watch Me’ experience offers visitors an unrivaled opportunity to behold elephants displaying natural behaviours in a pristine jungle environment in beautiful Phuket, Thailand. Immerse yourself in the tranquil pace of an elephant’s routine, and marvel as they roam, forage, and bathe freely.

This observation-focused experience is ideal for photography enthusiasts, as well as anyone who wishes to witness elephants interacting with their environment in a natural way. Experience the joy of feeding elephants in an intimate setting, then watching as they roam and forage freely throughout their environment. Through the simple beauty of mindful observation, visitors may gain a deep insight into elephant behaviour and learn about the unique personalities of the beautiful creatures who call Phuket home.

With a focus on education, our ‘Watch Me’ experience aims to impart knowledge about every aspect of elephant care to those who visit. Witness remarkable behaviours firsthand and see herd social dynamics in action as you observe from a viewing platform and follow the elephants through their habitat. Learn about an elephant’s dietary requirements as you help prepare food and nutritional supplements for these majestic animals, then help feed them by hand, or simply relax and watch as they enjoy their freshly prepared meal!
