Pattaya: Ethical Elephant Sanctuary Day Trip (EJS Pattaya)

Begin your unforgettable half-day adventure with a comfortable pickup from your Phuket accommodation, followed by a scenic one-hour drive through lush farmlands, rolling hills, and serene beaches before arriving at the Elephant Sanctuary. Upon arrival, meet your friendly English-speaking guide, who will introduce you to the rescued elephants and share their heartwarming stories. Armed with bananas and sugarcane, you’ll have the opportunity to feed, touch, and photograph the elephants as they roam freely in a safe and ethical environment. Learn about their unique personalities, daily routines, and behaviors as you walk alongside them through the sanctuary’s natural surroundings.

After meeting the elephants, join them for a fun and therapeutic mud spa session, helping to apply a natural mud treatment that protects their skin. Then, follow them to a nearby river for a refreshing bath — splash, scrub, and swim with these gentle giants as they play in the water. Once they’re clean, capture a few final photos before enjoying a delicious Thai lunch featuring freshly cooked Pad Thai, seasonal fruits, and local snacks. End your day with a relaxing visit to Naithon Beach, where you can unwind amidst the beautiful rural scenery before heading back to your hotel.
