Phuket Elephant Park sanctuary visit

General

Please read the following terms and conditions carefully before you make a booking. Your use of this website is expressly conditioned on your acceptance of the following terms and conditions. These terms only apply for bookings made directly through our site.

By submitting a booking request, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms and conditions on behalf of yourself and all members of your party.

Privacy

You can generally use our website without revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself. By giving us your name and personal details you consent for them to be used as necessary in processing your booking and complying with legal requirements (e.g. passing guest information to end suppliers for hotel transfers). We will never sell your details to third parties or use them for marketing purposes. For further details, please see our privacy policy.

Booking & Payment

Bookings are confirmed once our team contacts you to verify availability. A booking request alone does not guarantee your place — confirmation is sent by our team via email or WhatsApp.

💳 All payments are made in cash (Thai Baht only) upon arrival at the sanctuary. Credit and debit cards are not currently accepted on-site.

Prices are listed per person and include all items described in the program. Please ensure the number of guests and program selected are accurate at the time of booking.

Children's pricing is based on age at the time of the tour: Adults (10+), Children 6–9, Children 4–5, and Under 3. Please indicate ages at booking so we can apply the correct rates.

Cancellation Policy

We understand that plans can change. Our cancellation policy is as follows:

More than 48 hours before your tour: Full cancellation with no charge.

24–48 hours before your tour: 50% cancellation fee may apply.

Less than 24 hours / no-show: The full tour amount may be charged.

Cancellations due to illness, emergencies, or weather conditions beyond our control will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us as early as possible via WhatsApp or email so we can do our best to accommodate you.

Phuket Elephant Park reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a tour due to weather, safety concerns, or unforeseen circumstances. In such cases, a full refund or free rescheduling will be offered.

Liability

Accident insurance is included for all guests on every tour. However, guests participate in all activities at their own risk. Phuket Elephant Park, its staff, and its guides accept no responsibility for loss, injury, or damage to personal property during the tour.

By booking, guests acknowledge that they are visiting an environment with live animals and agree to follow all safety instructions given by guides at all times. Failure to comply with guide instructions may result in removal from the tour without refund.

We are not liable for any indirect or consequential losses, including missed flights, hotel costs, or other travel-related expenses arising from a tour cancellation or rescheduling.

Guest Conduct

Our sanctuary is an ethical, observation-only environment. To protect the wellbeing of our elephants and the experience of all guests, we ask that all visitors:

• Follow all instructions from guides at all times
• Maintain a respectful distance from the elephants
• Refrain from feeding or touching elephants unless specifically instructed
• Avoid loud noises, sudden movements, or behavior that could distress the animals
• Dress respectfully and appropriately for an outdoor safari environment

Guests who disregard these guidelines may be asked to leave the sanctuary without a refund. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone whose behaviour poses a risk to the elephants, staff, or other guests.

Changes to Terms

Phuket Elephant Park reserves the right to update or modify these terms and conditions at any time without prior notice. The most current version will always be available on this page. Continued use of our website or services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.

If you have any questions about these terms, please contact us before making a booking.
