Experiência no Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Pattaya

The highlight of our Thailand trip! We booked the half-day morning program through Klook, which included convenient hotel pickup and drop-off. We visited on a Wednesday, and there were only 7 guests, including us, making the experience feel very personal. Camp 1 has 7 rescued female elephants, and we had plenty of time to interact with them without feeling rushed. We enjoyed complimentary snacks and drinks before the tour, then learned so much about the elephants from the amazing guides, who spoke excellent English and clearly loved and cared for them. We prepared their food, fed them bananas, gave them a mud spa, bathed them, played with them in the water, and even made eco-friendly paper from elephant dung. After the activities, we enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch and received a free eco bag. Everything was well organized and unforgettable. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Pattaya!

Our experience at Elephant Jungle Sanctuary was truly unforgettable and one of the highlights of my 30th birthday celebration. We enjoyed every activity from start to finish — feeding the elephants, making their supplements, creating paper from elephant poo, bathing them, and ending the day with a delicious meal. What made the experience even more special was the people at the sanctuary. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can really see how much they love and care for the elephants, and we loved hearing how they knew each elephant’s personality and story. The elephant bathing experience was also made so fun and enjoyable by the staff. Everything felt meaningful, interactive, and well thought out. It was more than just an activity — it was an experience we’ll always remember. I’m so grateful I got to celebrate my birthday here, and I already know I’ll be back someday so my future kids will be able to meet these gentle giants 🐘🤍

Such a wonderful/unique experience! I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend it to anyone coming to visit Pattaya! The elephants were very calm and gentle, the staff were kind and knowledgeable, and there was plenty of time to take lots of photos and videos.

Without any exaggeration, this was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! To be able to be so close and interact with an elephant was a deeply emotional and spiritual experience. The guides were very professional and truly loved the elephants; they also made sure it was very interesting and lots of fun. I highly recommend you put this on your list of things that must be experienced when you are in Thailand 🐘🐘🐘🐘

I recommend everyone to visit a farm of this kind, where animals do not suffer! Many thanks to the instructors! The service was very comfortable overall; they picked us up from our residence and brought us back! As a gift from the farm, we received a shopper bag and snacks, very sweet❤️

It was truly a fantastic experience! I'm so thrilled and grateful for the incredibly accommodating team who patiently waited for us at the office. We managed to arrive just in time as the van pulled in. At the sanctuary, everything was spotless, and the staff were wonderfully welcoming, explaining everything to us. Learning how to properly feed the elephants and sharing those joyful, unforgettable moments with them was simply superb!

It wasn't a typical zoo, but a sanctuary where I could feed the animals, give them mud baths, and even shower and scrub them, which made me incredibly happy. I also felt that the elephants, ranging from 6 to over 50 years old, who had lived through hard labor, were being well cared for, even if the sanctuary wasn't huge. The staff were very friendly and took excellent photos. There was also a staff member who spoke English and Chinese; they were cheerful and provided immediate feedback and management regarding safety. I highly recommend bringing your swimsuit and towel to enjoy the mud bath, shower, and scrub! The Thai local food served for lunch was also perfectly suited to our taste and delicious! Oh, and the pickup van was comfortable, and they sent us the photos taken on-site the next day. I want to go again!

This was one of the best experiences of our trip! It was even more worth it because I booked it on a buy 1 take 1 deal. The weather was nice—not too hot—so the whole activity was very comfortable. They also provided complimentary coffee, drinks, and snacks. Interacting with the elephants was such an unforgettable experience. We also received a unique souvenir made from elephant pupu paper, which was a fun and memorable keepsake. Overall, it was absolutely worth it and I highly recommend it!

Definitely a must-try when in Pattaya! We enjoyed our hassle-free experience here. We were transported via the shuttle service, so we didn’t have difficulty finding the place. The elephants’ carers were also so nice and accommodating. They would even offer to take your pictures or videos. Most especially, the elephants there seemed well taken care of.

You'll need to take a minivan for about 40 minutes to get there. Along the way, it will pick up other tourists. The main activities involve bathing and feeding elephants. The host speaks English very vividly and engagingly, using simple language that even those with limited English should understand. There are lockers available, but you'll need to pay a deposit for the key. Clean shower rooms are also provided for a quick rinse (shampoo included), but there's no hairdryer, so try to keep your hair dry. The feeding part feels quite long; you'll be given bananas and watermelons to feed the elephants, who seem quite hungry. All the elephants appear to be well cared for. A photographer is on hand to take pictures of you with the elephants. During the elephant bathing, the water depth is around knee-level, so your pants will definitely get wet. It's advisable to bring a pair of pants you don't mind getting dirty. For your top, you'll be given a Northern Thai-style vest to wear, which won't get as dirty as your pants. The elephant bathing process is quite fun, and you'll even get a brush to scrub the elephants. However, this part feels incredibly short, like less than 10 minutes before you're called to change and prepare to head back home. 😂 Perhaps elephants shouldn't be bathed for too long. There's no lunch provided afterward, so you'll need to sort that out back at your hotel. Overall, it's a pretty good experience, though a bit pricey. Consider it as helping these poor elephants. It's said that the elephants here come from circuses or were used for transporting goods, which is truly sad. Thankfully, they can now live out the rest of their lives here.
