Our commitment
Our Commitment to Elephants, the Coast, and Community
At Phuket Siray Elephant Care Camp, sustainability isn’t just a policy; it’s our foundation. As the only sanctuary in Phuket offering private beach bathing set against breathtaking sea views, we hold ourselves to the highest ethical and environmental standards to ensure our physical footprint leaves a positive legacy.
Coastal & Marine Preservation
Protecting our beach and ocean ecosystem is essential. We maintain strict waste-management protocols, conduct regular shoreline cleanups, and ensure zero harmful runoff enters the surrounding waters.
Empowering the Local Community & Koh Siray
Local Sourcing & Fair Wages: We hire locally in Phuket, source fresh produce directly from regional Thai farmers to feed our rescue elephants, and ensure fair-wage employment for our team and mahouts.
Supporting Local Families: We actively support the Life Home Project Foundation and Phuket Sunshine Village Foundation on Koh Siray, directly providing essential supplies and daily necessities to vulnerable children and families in our local community.
Green Season magic
Nature’s ultimate remedy: Why elephants chase the waves.
It turns out seawater is packed with health benefits for elephants! A dip in the ocean helps them scrub off parasites, exfoliate dead skin, and heal minor cuts. They even drink small amounts of seawater to absorb vital natural minerals.

August 2026What Do Elephants Eat Every Day? The Giant Diet Behind Phuket’s Rescued Elephants
Elephants are massive creatures, and their appetites are just as huge! Let’s take a look at what elephants love to eat:
- Leaves, twigs, and tree bark — especially bamboo, teak, and fig leaves. Sometimes they even peel off bark for a tasty snack.
- Tender grass in forests and meadows. Occasionally, they pull up roots for an extra boost of energy.
- Fruit is their ultimate favorite: bananas, mangoes, watermelons, papayas, and various wild fruits.
- Aquatic plants such as lotus or reeds when they are near a water source.
Did you know wild elephants eat 200–300 kilograms per day? Having sufficient, nutritious food is crucial to their health and well-being.
If we want to give elephants a better life, let’s support ethical, elephant-friendly tourism!
