it looked ok when you arrivebut the trek could have been done on the back of a dead sheep there were no hills to climb it was flat ground on when you went into a small pond and most of the time was walking on an old dirt trak

With the demise of the Teak trade most of Thailands working elephants became redundant overnight , this gave the Elephant farm the chance to show off the skills of the elephants to the public , you have a long ride on an elephant which is a weird sensation in it`self and also a sword fighting display by Thai actors who...

Got up close and personal with the elephants. Enjoyed feeding the elephants and a lovely ride too. Take plenty of fluids and clothes you dont mind getting a bit dirty/dusty.

I've visited here 3 times now as our three children all hit the age that they considered themselves worthy and able to ride the Elephants. The price has gone up quite a bit which is justified by them saying it all goes to the elephants. It just gets the feel of being a little bit of a money spinner with... More

As we were in Thailand my partner wanted to do a elephant safari, therefore we went. This was advertised as a 40 minute trek through the jungle, ride on a raft and return trip to the village by Ox cart followed by dinner. Before you set off they tell you to buy water (this is twice the price you pay... More

It was a nice experience riding elephant here, and after we got a show with a "baby" elephant. Dont expect any luxury here, it is very simple and straight on. But that is what it is all about at palces like this. Nice and friendly people around, but remember to carry some 20 bath tip money...that is essential at places... More

the elephants here suffer the most extreme cruelty and torture,,poked in the eyes with sticks.hit with steel tipped hooks and restrained enviroment...sadly this is the case in all of thailand...please do not support the mafia who run these shows..this is not an innocent pastime it is a great horror to the elephants
