The highlight of my trip to Thailand was Pattaya Elephant Sanctuary. A home for rescued abused elephants, their stories awful but now they have a wonderful life taking mud baths, playing in the pool, foraging in the forest. When we arrived the elephants came running out to greet us as they knew banannas & sugarcane come with new visitors. Walked thru the forest while the elephants leisurely munched on leaves...off to a favorite pool where they to play and roll around in the water. Everyone at the Sanctuary were absolutely wonderful and take great care of the elephants and rescued dogs! Highly recommend this trip!

A wonderful experience. Loved meeting, feeding, and cleaning the elephants. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Отличное место, если вы заботитесь о животных, то посещение заповедника - лучший способ пообщаться с ними

10/10 experience. Very interactive and the guides were extremely warm and inviting.

Incredible experience with a company that really cares about the elephants!
