Safari & Elephant Trekking
Phuket Patong Beach Thailand

Elephant trekking can be a memorable experience not to be missed during your holiday in Phuket and Patong, especially for children.
There are numerous elephant camps around Patong and Phuket Island that provide an opportunity to ride on an elephant along a trail through jungle and rubber plantations.

Most of these elephant safaris are relatively short, 30 mins to 1 hour, though you do get to take in a lot of the natural surroundings on your way. Therefore, most elephant treks will also involve a ride on bamboo rafts or buffalo cart as well.

Usually there is also an elephant show in which trained elephants perform various tasks.

Elephants are a national symbol in Thailand and their importance as
working animals and in warfare is part of Thailands history.
However, since logging was banned in 1989 the only demand for these domesticated elephants has been in the tourism industry.
