USA to Bangkok - The staff was extremely nice. The elephants were well taken care of. The sanctuary starts at 8. We arrived 2 hours early. Overall, amazing experience.

Ethical passionate people who care for the well-being of the elephants and their visitors. Worth every single cent +++ - A must do in Pattaya. Where to begin! The guides are absolutely beautiful, for Thai natives they speak such great English. Very knowledgable and FRIENDLY. Any questions they will answer for you. They do tireless work maintaining the well-being in all aspects of the elephants lives at the sanctuary. You feel comfortable the entire time and you can see how much the elephants love it. You will feed, learn, make paper and wash the elephants. It’s a beautiful experience and it’s so much more wholesome as all money goes to the food and care of these animals. Transfers, food provided, a tie-dye hanky painting activity and a tote bag.

Elephant Sanctuary Pattaya Review!!! - Very well organized tour since the pickup in the hotel until the elephant sanctuary. Seven elephants were in the location and nice tour provided by the guides. It’s highly recommended for all ages!!!

Amazing half day! - Great half day Trip. An absolute must do if in Pattaya. Van pickup direct from hotel with about a 30 minute drive to the location. Upon arrival greeted with complimentary snacks tea and coffee. After an initial briefing we went to meet the elephants. We’re able to feed them bananas and watermelon, scrub them in mud and wash them down. They offer free use of handmade tops to wear if you dont want to get your personal clothes wet/dirty and have showers to wash down afterwards. They also have a photographer that will take photos of you with a DSLR whenever you’d like, and they will send you a link later to download them all (no additional charge). Interactive paper making experience out of elephant poop and a tie-dye. At the end we have a fresh complementary thai lunch and was gifted a nice tote bag before departing.

Great experience, door to... - Great experience, door to door service with a driver provided by the sanctuary. Amazing time and only a half day!- we were back to our hotel by 11:30. Lots of interaction with the elephants. Perfect amount of time, and perfect experience.

Choose this Elephant Sanctuary - Totally recommend this Elephant Sanctuary as we did so many activities and were given a lot of time to interact with the elephants.

Great morning at the Elephant Sanctuary - Most importantly the elephants appear happy & well cared for. We fed them, bathed them and were able to take loads of nice photos without interfering with what the elephants wanted to do. When they’d had enough food, or were finished being washed, they just wandered off 😁 We also made some tie dye cloths and were provided with a nice lunch. Coffee and water were complimentary and a range of other cold drinks were available to buy very cheaply. Bring a change of clothes as you will get dirty. Basic shower facilities were available. Bring sunscreen, bug spray and a bit of local cash for the small shop. Overall would highly recommend.

Amazing experience - We had a fabulous time on our visit to the EJS. We were lucky to have a small group and so got plenty of quality time with the elephants. We felt that the elephants were very well treated and looked after. The guides were very informative and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed washing the elephants. We liked the additional activities of tie dying and paper making. Shower facilities, lockers etc were great and lunch was amazing. Pickup bang on time. Definitely recommend this trip.

Elephants close up and personal with no cruelty - Excellent experience with no animal abuse the elephants did exactly what they wanted the facility is clean with modern bathrooms for a clean up after the elephant bathing experience and the food good although 10am is a bit early for lunch! Pick up was great and on time and we were back round the pool at our hotel by 1230 great ethical experience with no hard sell or hawkers although quite expensive worth every penny

GREAT besides swarm of flies on food - Great tour. The elephants were docile, friendly, and super pleasant. The bugs were as expected - intense. Mostly flies and fruit flies. I did not eat the lunch offered because the flies were ALL OVER the food. I recommend allowing participants to place their order when booking the tour, making the plates, and wrapping them in plastic until it is time to eat. I plan to do the tour again when I visit in a few months with a friend.
