If you geniunely want to interact with the elephants in their habitat please go here and support their sanctuary. They rescue and house elephants around Thailand. I hope they receive more support. We availed the feeding program with transfer. We can say the van tansfer feels like a celebrity hahaha While waiting they alse had free snacks coffee etc. We had feeding and paper making from elephant poop which is by the way odorless. Kuya (the guide) also is friendly, accommodating and speaks good english. Love this out of all tours!

I’m really happy that we booked this activity here in Thailand. I had so much fun and my heart is so full from seeing all the elephants. I was hesitant at first, because I don’t think it’s a very ethical thing to do, but after the tour guides/crew explained how it all works and after reading different reviews and watching countless videos online, it pushed me to do this activity. I would rate this whole experience a 10/10. 🐘❤️

We booked two riders and 1 passenger price was €99. It was worth every single penny. The tour guide was very friendly and kind enough to let the passenger try the ATV aswell. He also gives options such as whether you want to go through water or not. He always makes sure everyone is okay and satisfied! We stopped in a lovely area surrounded by green trees and bushes and gave us a water bottle each. They give you slippers if you don’t want to dirty your shoes. Overall they were great! Thank you for this beautiful experience

I enjoyed the 3 races. Each race is about 7 laps, and it was great racing with my friend. You can see your record improving as you go, and competing with friends is fun. I spun out about three times trying to get more speed, but it stopped safely. I definitely recommend using a kart with a speed of 70km or higher. The entry-level karts don't look very thrilling.

Not a bad place to ride a zipline. It is located on a large territory, next to a farm with elephants. The route consists of 25 sites. Please note that there will be no obstacles on the route, only platforms for descent and a couple of suspension bridges. The entire route is accompanied by an instructor, he does all the actions with your ziplocks. Overall, I recommend it.

We had an amazing time. The experience is superb. Highly recommended to those who wants to have a close encounter to wild animals as they just roam freely in the area making this trip extraordinary and one on the book for all of us. Special thanks to our driver Mr. Tuu who exceeded our expectations and provided all the help that he can offer making it convenient and super fun for all of us. Super worth it. A must try, indeed.

Tips before visiting Pattaya

1. Explore different beaches

Pattaya Beach can be crowded, so you may want to visit quieter places like Jomtien Beach or Naklua. These areas offer cleaner water, calmer vibes, and better spots for swimming or relaxing.

2. Be mindful of nightlife areas

Walking Street is famous but can be overwhelming, especially for families. It’s safe to visit, but it’s best to know what to expect. If you prefer a calmer evening, try beachside restaurants or night markets instead.

3. Dress respectfully at temples

When visiting places like the Sanctuary of Truth or the Big Buddha Temple, make sure to wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. This shows respect for local culture and helps you enter all areas without issues.

4. Plan your transportation

Pattaya has many ways to get around, like songthaews (shared taxis), motorbike taxis, and ride-hailing apps. Before you go out, check prices or use an app to avoid paying more than you should. This will make your trip smoother and easier.
