Visitor Reviews
Show was amazing and very well done by all the performers. If you want a picture after the show with a performer, they cost 100 baht each. Which is quite reasonable as entry is free for Thai citizens as long as they buy a drink from the cafe for 120 baht. Foreigners pay 400 baht entry fee which includes a free drink. Elephant rides are also an extra charge.
Totally worth the trip. Feeding the elephant and take the ride. Having the free drinks come with ticket and the mini Tiffany show. The whole family enjoys it to the max. It is a must go place in Pattaya. We bought entrance ticket online and add on d rest when we were there
We really enjoyed this place. Feels like any bad review would probably be from people who didn’t go that are just on here saying don’t ride elephants. But we had a blast not just with the elephants but the other animals and watching their shows.

Vet Elephant Sanctuaries
Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.
Book Through Klook or GetYourGuide
These platforms offer instant confirmation, free cancellation on most activities, and prices that are often lower than walk-up rates. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.
Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning
Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
