How To Support Us
Our project relies on the income from visiting tourists. We use this income to buy nutritious food, to offer medical treatments, to maintain 30 acres of land and to support close to 100 staff who work tirelessly for the well-being of our rescued elephants.
Should you be unable to visit us but still want to support our work, please consider one of the below initiatives.
Buy A Happy Meal
In addition to the 300 kilos of plants each of the 12 elephants here at Phuket Elephant Sanctuary forages for on a daily basis, we also prepare soft rice balls to supplement their diet. While younger elephants love the energy-rich and delicious snack, it’s especially older elephants like Madee & Gaew Ta with worn off teeth that rely on this supplementary food in order to receive the nutrients they need to stay healthy & happy. The cost of these “Happy Meal” rice balls is just 30 USD per day – yet during these challenging times that adds up quickly.
Should you be able to support us, you can click below to buy one or more “Happy Meals” at USD 30 each, which will provide the entire herd with one day’s worth of delicious and nutritious rice balls. As a token of our appreciation, we will send you a video of your Happy Meal being prepared & fed.
Food Source Self-sufficiency Project
We are working hard towards becoming self-sufficient in terms of food sources for our elephants. From May until October 2020 we planted over 1,200 banana trees at our sanctuary, followed by over 2 acres of fishtail palms, sugarcane and Napier Grass. We continue to plant new food sources, and any amount you can support us with would be hugely appreciated.

Purchase A Short Film
We are bringing the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary Experience to you with 2 short films, produced by our very own team. “Kannika & Madee” is an uplifting story about the first 2 elephants we welcomed to our sanctuary and gives you a glimpse into their daily lives. “Into The Wild” is a documentary film about Vanda, who was rescued in December 2019, and features tour guide Tik and mahout Benz who both share their knowledge and insights about Vanda and the Asian elephant species. All proceeds help us to feed our 12 elephants, and you can purchase the videos using the links below.
