Elephant Trekking In Phuket

Elephant trekking is a definite “should not miss” experience in Phuket. Elephants are very important animals in Thailand. It has been hailed as the national symbol of the country. In the former times, elephants roamed the island, but rubber plantations and tin mining changed the natural environment and soon, the elephants slowly disappeared.
Siam Safari Nature Tours first started the trend of offering tourists the chance to ride on an elephant while touring their forest. Controlled and regulated by the staff properly, elephant trekking is a safe and enjoyable activity for the visitors, especially the kids.
Remember at all times to respect these gentle creatures. They are very sensitive to loud noises, so avoid making them. Also, do not feel them anything unless the staff tells you that it is okay to do so.
It would be great to see elephants roam the earth again, but that is just not possible. Learning to correlate and live in harmony is part of evolution. Thailand helps these creatures by providing them with shelter and food – in return, these lovable creatures bring joy to the people's hearts.
Today, there are a number of elephant safaris around Phuket, each offering a ride in one of these majestic creatures. Though the ride is relatively short, about 10-30 minutes, but this experience promises to be one of the most memorable in your journey to Phuket.
