My husband and I visited the safari park whilst on our honeymoon from the UK and it was the worst abuse of animals I have ever seen. The elephants are kept on small chains even the baby elephants. One baby elephant was chained up on its on with no water and it was just walking about looking very disturbed. It... More

Beware, our taxi driver recommended this place. Little did I know that the drivers get a cut for bringing people there. The place was awful, sick looking elephants, and trainers stabbing then with hooks. One of the elephant drivers told our friend in Thai, that he hadn't hadn't been allowed breakfast or water, and it was 4pm at the time...... More

What a terrible place, drugged tigers, skinny and mistreated elephants, thinking about this place almost brings me to tears. I am ashamed to have taken photos with a drugged and chained tiger which was hit in the face when it wouldn't look at the camera. We walked past a teenage elephant which was wandering round in circles because it was... More

My husband I planned to visit the waterfall but didn't realize that this attraction was attached in some way. Walked in to see a large tiger chained up clearly sedated (teeth & claws removed), a 2 month old baby walking around (and chained up minutes later) and a leopard chained up and showing such obvious signs of distress it was...

What an ADVENTURE we had on our 1-hour Elephant Trek through the beautiful jungle location, along the river with coconut palms everywhere. Our Elephant Driver (Mahout) was so much fun; our Elephant loved him and would follow all his voice commands. Near the river, we wanted to cool off and the Mahout would say one word in Thai and the... More

What a joke! STAY AWAY! RIP OFF! RUDE PEOPLE! My wife and I were just driving around the island on our scooter, saw this place - ventured in, and were mortified. Leapards chained up, Tiger's so out of it they can't move - stupid expensive, just a waste. Do not take your kids here! More

Did the zoo as part of a jeep safari, everything was great until I seen the poor tiger!! The poor animal was so drugged, all he wanted to do was sleep, but the handler poked him with a stick to make him pose for a photo. I wanted to take the stick and beat the handler!! I will be forever... More
