My husband and I went on this tour not expecting to see what we did! We were picked up from the hotel and had to pick up others on the way its was a long bumpy ride on the back of a ute that was covered. When we arrived we first walked to the waterfall which was a great hike... More

Fun for kids, but for adults not much. Still it worth our time and money. More

Well we couldn't come all the way to Thailand and not see elephants so the wife and I schedule an excursion here to do a 60 minute elephant trek. We were very excited and looking forward to it, especially seeing the brochure and the waterfalls and hearing from others about their experiences in Phuket riding the elephants up to the... More

We went for a walk to the waterfall and stumbled upon the safari side of this park. As a vet who has visited plenty of animal attractions in asia I thought the place was awful. All the elephants I saw were showing stereotypic boredom behaviour and a lot had purple spray used on open wounds. The tigers were sedated to... More

This is a dreadful place and should be closed down. Not only are the animals mistreated, the elephant ride is not safe and I doubt the other activities are either. We were fortunate to have our hotel refund our payment when we returned. More

I do not want to write too much about this place as I do not want to drag up the horrible memories, but I felt i needed to write to try to help advise others against being a part of this cruelty. I have visited animal parks all over the world, and I do understand that different cultures work quite... More

I've been traveling the world and I've never been as distraught as this at animal treatment. My girlfriend and I left the outing early because I couldn't take it any longer and the event was making me sick and sad. Some hard facts about the animals (I'm doing my best to not put my opinion here): * Elephants are prodded... More
