  If you're driving, start by heading towards Kathu District. From Patong Beach, take the Phrabarami Road and continue straight for about 5 kilometers until you reach the intersection with Route 402. Turn left onto Route 402 and then take a right at the next traffic light onto Kathu Waterfall Road. Continue for about 1.5 kilometers, and you will see Elephant Sanctuary Phuket on your left at 85/183 Kathu, Kathu District, Phuket 83120. There is parking available on-site.

• Public Transportation (Songthaew)

  To reach Elephant Sanctuary Phuket using public transport, you can take a Songthaew (shared taxi) from areas like Patong or Phuket Town. From Patong, catch a Songthaew heading to Phuket Town (costs around 30-50 THB). Once in Phuket Town, transfer to another Songthaew heading to Kathu. The fare for this leg will be approximately 20-30 THB. Ask the driver to drop you off at the junction for Kathu Waterfall Road, and from there it is a short 10-minute walk to the sanctuary.

• Taxi

  For a more comfortable and direct option, you can hire a taxi from your location in Phuket. The cost will vary depending on your starting point, but from Patong, it typically costs around 400-600 THB. Simply provide the driver with the address: 85/183 Kathu, Kathu District, Phuket 83120. Taxis are readily available and can drop you right at the entrance of the sanctuary.

• Motorbike Rental

  If you're feeling adventurous, consider renting a motorbike to explore the area. Rental shops are common around tourist areas like Patong and Phuket Town, with daily rates starting from about 200 THB. From Patong, follow the same route as mentioned for cars. The sanctuary is about a 15-minute ride from Patong, and parking is available on-site.
