We took the half day siam safari. It was nice. The elephants are adorable. Was great to experience an elephant ride for 30 min. The area with demonstration and tasting of coffee, tea, coconut oil making, water buffalo, etc was very nice...had a very rural feel to it which we very much enjoyed. The whole setup has a very artificial... More

We had been eagerly anticipating this trip and we weren't disappointed. The elephant ride through the jungle was the highlight, with our mahout singing softly as we went. Demonstrations of Thai cooking, rice farming and rubber production were interesting, and watching young elephants paint, kick a football and play the harmonica was a lot of fun. Our tour guide, Ma,... More

Great day learning about the elphants in Phuket. The safari was fantastic as well as all the other traditional methods of making Thai curry, coconut oil and rice farming. A really good day out!

This is a fabulous way to spend an afternoon, they tell you all about coconuts, how rubber is tapped and worked and taste a curry dish and the most delicious coconut pancakes. You then see baby elephants and take a half hour jungle safari on an elephant which has some spectacular views of Chalong Bay. The day finishes with a... More

Tour company picked us up at our resort; shortly after arrival, we met 2 elephants who performed tricks for us; after that my wife and I were placed on an elephant and given a nice 45 min tour of the souther Phuket jungle. The mahout was nice, taking several pictures for us. We also were allowed to feed bananas to... More

My wife and I stayed at the J.W. Marriott Beach Club and booked Siam Safari through the Resort after looking at the brochure and reading the reviews on Tripadvisor. We had pretty good expectations and were not let down by Siam Safari! The first day we booked it rained, so we had to cancel and re-book for the following day... More

This is amazing, elephant riding, and elephant show all set amongst the beautiful forests of Phuket. This tour is one of the closer tours to Patong Beach so you only have to do a half day tour and still plan an extra attraction in the afternoon. Value for money and you get great photographs to add to your holiday. 5... More

Friendly and well co-ordinated tour. Elephant ride it self was peaceful and enjoyable and guides happily let you take a lot of photos. Group sizes where not to large. If you have the option of lunch take it it is some nice Thai food.

We booked this through a tour desk one night for the next day for a 10:30am collection (11:00am start). We selected the 45 minute Elephant ride (there is also a 30 minute option). We were collected on time by a minibus with other people already aboard from other hotels and taken to the camp.. it is located not far up... More
