About the Phuket Hidden Forest Elephant Sanctuary ELEPHANTS

To be in the presence of the largest land mammal on earth is a truly life changing experience. The six beautiful elephants spent the last two decades giving thousands of rides to tourists; they worked long days with very little rest.

Their lives are now completely transformed and they will never have to work again. They live peacefully with us here at Hidden Forest and have the freedom to make their own decisions; to choose to bathe in the ponds, roam around the forest, and live a life previously only in their dreams.

We offer a truly magical and peaceful experience where we hope you will feel humbled to be in the presence of these magnificent animals, observing them in the tranquility of their natural forest home.

Its sure to be an experience of a life time at the Phuket Hidden Forrest Elephant Sanctuary.
