Situated in Na Chom Thian within Sattahip District, this elephant village offers visitors a hands-on wildlife experience combining elephant rides, feeding sessions, and close encounters with resident crocodiles — including notable residents Momo and Mimi. The park draws families, couples, and solo travelers looking for an accessible and affordable alternative to larger commercial wildlife attractions in the Pattaya region, with visitors consistently noting the calm, well-maintained grounds and the friendly, attentive staff.
The atmosphere is relaxed and quietly scenic rather than heavily commercialized. Elephants are described by visitors as friendly and well cared for, and the site maintains clean facilities with ample parking. The experience feels genuinely community-rooted, and the relatively low entry price — with promotional rates occasionally available — makes it an accessible option for budget-conscious travelers seeking meaningful animal interaction. Rescued elephants are part of the resident population, adding a conservation dimension to the visit.

Reviews from Google
I traveled on 1 July 2025, going with my Thai and Chinese friends. When I saw here first time, it was pleasant and quiet. The entrance price was very cheap, I recieve special promotion 300 Baht, which included food for feeding crocodiles, food for feeding elephants, and one elephant ride. Mostly, foreigners search for other places where the price is higher than here. They don't know much about this place, but it's a fair and reasonable price. My impression is that they raise all elephants well, not for sale or cruelty, and they are very high class of elephant camp.
Great experience! The elephants are calm and well cared for, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The ride was smooth, the scenery was beautiful, and the entire place felt safe and organized. A fun and memorable activity near Khao Chi Chan.
Very well maintained park, the elephants and crocodiles are clean and healthy. Elephants are very friendly. Staff are very friendly and polite. Premises are clean. They have ample parking, and the price is very reasonable. Riding on the elephant is good, and feeding elephant and crocodile is amazing. Overall Recommended!!!
