    Amusement with no limit. Just as wild as described before coming. You cannot say you had a full experience of the island without a way around here.

    We came here a little bit suspicious because we had seen another ‘sanctuary’ which was awful but we took the time and did our research. We decided to come here.

    Our guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had about the elephants. We are able to feed the elephants, give them a mud bath, spray them with water and wash them. You go round in small groups, there were 10 people in our group.

    The elephants looked so happy here, the little ones were fooling around in the pool! There are no chains, no sticks to hit them with and no sticks with nails on the end like we had seen at the previous one!

    Some would say bathing them isn’t ethical but these elephants have come from poor backgrounds, the people here have taken care of them and have to train them to a certain extent in order to control them. The reality is if places like this didn’t exist then those elephants would have been disposed of by the previous owners and left.

    It’s an experience I’m pleased I had the opportunity to have and I really enjoyed it!

    Grrat Beach, good bars and restaurants close by. The beach is sheltered and is shallow making it perfect for those less confident in the water and families. The water is warm and sparkling clean.

    We had been looking at this beach from a far all day from different high viewpoints in Phuket. With how green the water looked from a far I thought that it would be turquoise water when we got there. It wasnt. There are no facilities(showers or bathrooms) that we could see. We set up at the far left if looking at the water where the sun chairs are at to rent. 4 chairs and 2 umbrellas was 400 baht. The sand was extremely hot, so bring some water shoes. The water was like bathtub temps. I could see where that would seem nice, but we were hoping for a cooler dip based off the heat outside. The water color up close was nothing to write home about.

    Not the best on the island, still central and vibrant, it deserves a visit. Water is clean, as almost everywhere on the island. Of course often crowded, still beautifulness and closeness makes the visit a good idea.

    We booked a private taxi from kata . We loved it lots of different temples to look round . We didn’t realise streight away but had plenty of time to realise you go streight to a hut in the middle with special offering packages and flowers and you take some and put a donation in the collection box , the package included gold leaf to add to the Buddhas in one temple and candles and incense sticks plus flowers to put in the bowls . They do fresh fruit smoothies at the stalls at the back near the toilets .

    We had a wonderful time hearing about the Soi Dog Foundation from our guide, Silvia! We were just in Phuket for a day and weren’t sure what to do near the airport, but I’m so glad that we stumbled upon soi dog. It was encouraging after seeing so many stray animals on our trip to hear about the efforts this organization takes not only to treat and rehabilitate injured and ill animals, but also the education they offer the community about animal care! Not to mention it was so fun to help socialize the puppies! We will definitely stay connected to Soi Dog Foundation from now on.

    Just amazing! Way down is not the easiest, but still possible to be made with comfortable shoes, even in the for free version. Clear water, amazing experience.

    What a great experience to feed, bathe, and brush these rescued elephants. It was truly special. The staff were wonderful and the Thai cooking lesson at the end became a feast.
