Taxi
If you're staying in Patong Beach, head to the main road and find a taxi or tuk-tuk. Show the driver the address: 100, Srisoonthorn, 12 Moo 7 Srisoonthorn Rd, Tambon Si Sunthon, Thalang District, Phuket 83110. The journey will take about 30-40 minutes depending on traffic.
Local Bus (Songthaew)
From Patong, walk to the main road and look for a blue Songthaew (local bus) heading towards Phuket Town. Get off at Phuket Town and then find another Songthaew going to Thalang. Once in Thalang, ask the driver to drop you off at Srisoonthorn Road. The reserve is a short walk from there.
Motorbike Rental
For a more adventurous option, rent a motorbike from one of the many rental shops in Patong. Follow signs to Thalang, then take Srisoonthorn Road. Look for the Phuket Elephant Nature Reserve, which is located at 100, Srisoonthorn, 12 Moo 7 Srisoonthorn Rd. Make sure to wear a helmet and drive safely!
Private Tour
Book a private tour that includes transportation to the Phuket Elephant Nature Reserve. Many tour companies offer packages that can pick you up from your hotel in the Patong area and take you directly to the reserve. This is a convenient option if you prefer not to navigate on your own.
