we chose to feed the elephants, and it were boring tbh since the field is not that big and there weren't many elephants. P.S. when u arrive, there's free complimentary hot drinks (Instant coffee and Tea with biscuits and cake)
It was a blast! So close to animals, being able to interact and care for them. Our guide Mr. K showed us everything and made like 10000 different pictures and videos of us and made it a private tour, since our group was very late. If you go there, we recommend taking part in all activities, like washing the elephants, it’s so much fun and an unforgettable experience, much more valuable than just taking pictures from the side. They rescue elephants and take care of them, a good cause!
My visit to the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Pattaya was an okay experience, with some highs and lows. The sanctuary’s commitment to ethical elephant care stood out—no riding, no chains, just rescued elephants roaming in a natural setting. Feeding them bananas and sugar cane was a highlight, and the staff shared interesting facts about the elephants’ pasts, which made me appreciate their rescue stories. The half-day program included preparing food supplements and observing the elephants in a mud spa, which was fun but less interactive than I expected. The traditional Thai buffet lunch was decent, though nothing extraordinary. However, the experience didn’t fully live up to the hype. The sanctuary felt a bit commercialized, and the area for the elephants seemed smaller than advertised, which made me question how much freedom they really have. I also heard concerns about inconsistent animal care, which left me uneasy. The location, about 30 minutes from central Pattaya, was easy to reach with their free shuttle, but the overall vibe didn’t feel as immersive as I’d hoped. I’ve attached photos of the elephants and the feeding area to show what it’s like. It’s a decent stop if you’re in Pattaya and care about ethical tourism, but it’s not a must-do unless you’re passionate about elephants.
I had a wonderful time at this elephant sanctuary in Thailand. They have 7 gentle elephants, all rescued from hard lives. The staff treat them with great care and respect. I really enjoyed the mud bath and water play with the elephants. It’s amazing to see a place that truly supports ethical treatment of animals. Great work promoting kindness and ending elephant slavery!
This was an ethical and amazing elephant sanctuary in Pattaya! We were picked up by their designated driver in a cool van! Just me, my friend and another guy. So it can be considered private! We chose the earliest slot which started at 6:30am when we got picked up. Then 30-minute-ish drive. 1. The caretakers are taking care of elephants when their previous owners couldn’t due to financial difficulties and non-ethical approaches. 2. No elephant-riding activity which is excellent! 3. The activities offered were great and interactive! Feed the elephants, made paper out of elephant poop, make vitamins for elephant digestive, make tie-dye, mud bath the elephants, scrub them and then lunch. 4. Lunch served was amazing!! They even offered halal and vegetarian options upon request. 5. No additional fees for toilets, outerwear to protect your outfit from muds when we were bathing with the elephants and the photos professionally taken. 6. Photographer and caretakers are all experienced and I can see that they love their job. I love it. Well done! Hopefully can see you guys again! Khob khun ka~
