Wonderful and intimate elephant experience! - We had a wonderful experience at the Elephant Sanctuary. It was flawless from start to finish. The staff were friendly and the elephants were healthy and beautiful. This experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Pattaya!

What a place! - Wow what an amazing experience this was! To get that close to these magnificent animals was a real treat. These Elephants are well looked after and given a peaceful elephant life what this sanctuary is doing is wonderful. The staff here are beyond amazing and full of fun. Kangaroo was our guide and made us feel relaxed and comfortable, he was also a funny guy. I would love to do this this again. It was well worth tha money.

Excellent experience - Loved this which was worth the 1.5hours trip from Bangkok. The staff were great as were the elephants. Drinks, snacks and meal were included! Free pictures taken by their photographer then emailed to you.

Beautiful excursion - The trip was not cheap, but it is for a good cause and it was worth it. The elephants were in a good mood and let the tourists feed, touch and bathe them. That was fun. The preceding safety instruction was serious and helpful. The nurses were happy to provide information. The subsequent food was good and pungently matched to tourists who are new to Thailand. Luckily, there was enough chili powder to season it. Finally: Our hotel was not on the list of hotels that are normally served, but after a short and efficient exchange of messages we were picked up on site anyway.

Defo a must - Amazing once in a life time experience would defiantly recommend, elephants are looked after the food and staff were lovely

Excellent learning experience - The elephant park was amazing. From the first encounter. Which is the feeding. To making their laxative mixture and the elephant poop paper. The lunch provided was delicious and wholesome. Then the real fun started with the exfoliation of the elephants with mud and then the washing and scrubbing of the elephants to clean them. Totally recommend this to all travellers

Must see - Don't miss this opportunity, great experience. Highly recommend. Tim was a great guide, the rest of the staff was very nice, informative and fun.

Pattaya Elephant Jungle Sanctuary - This is a fantastic experience from start to finish. We got picked up at the Port on time and were taken to the sanctuary. After an introduction and safety brief, we were taken out and allowed to feed the elephants their breakfast. Amazing standing beside the elephants and seeing them up close. Each animal has a member of staff watching and helping you.....at no time did we ever feel unsafe. Next was making elephant poo parchment paper. 😂. It is not as gross as it sounds. After this, we got changed and headed up to the mud pit and pool. It was an incredible experience rubbing mud over them before we heading into the pool area. These animals were amazing and gentle with us. After washing them, we were guided to the showers where we could wash and change into clean dry clothing we brought. The sanctuary then gave us lunch. Wow. The food was amazing and so tasty. I would have been delighted to have it served to me at a restaurant it was sooooooo good. Right on time, our minibus collected us for a return journey to the port. I was looking forward to this visit for months before our cruise and I was not disappointed. The staff are doing a fantastic job rescuing elephants that are being harmed and educating locals in the animals welfare. Don't hesitate to visit the centre as it was a humbling experience at an extremely worthwhile cause. Thank you EJS for fantastic memories.

UNIQUE and UNFORGETTABLE - On 23/01 I was able to do this extraordinary experience. At 6:30 a minivan picked me up and my friend from the hotel, took us to the elephant sanctuary with other people, we were greeted very warmly, there were sweet and savory snacks, coffee and tea, then they gave us various indications on the behavior to keep during activities with elephants to which we fed bananas and watermelon and rice balls, bananas, salt, tamarind (and another thing that I think he said was protein), prepared by us; we created sheets of paper with their "pupu", we applied the mud both on them and on ourselves, we washed them, brushed and after taking a shower, the staff prepared us a really great lunch!! All the while a photographer was following us to capture every moment (the photos, within 2.3 days you will find them in your email). We had so much fun, more than I expected!!! All the staff guys are really very nice, kind and helpful!! They also gave us a wonderful canvas bag!! Back at the hotel we felt like regenerated, relaxed. It is an experience I would highly recommend to anyone in this place.

Professional - Very professional and good impression of ethics and animal welfare. We were picked up and delivered at the hotel and got a very nice lunch
