- 238PaulM0 contributionsThe best day trip with this companyAmazing day with amazing driver and guide didi. They went above and beyond taking us to places not visited by other tours. Highly recommendWritten February 14, 2025
- ilkahannah0 contributionsAmazing!Very good and organized tour! I had fun! The tour guides were very friendly and is very good and clear at giving instructions for safety. The food was great too! The place had free lockers to put your stuff in. The toilet/shower were very clean. The area has been well maintained and has sprinklers and fan to lessen the heat. They also had a mini store where you can buy necessities for the activities like slippers, hats, etc. They had free tote bags after the tour and some complimentary water and drinks.Written April 27, 2024
- Alexander S0 contributionsElephant Playtime!The driver was kind enough to pick us up from my sister’s home rather than having to go to one of the designated pick up locations at a hotel. Very convenient and easy for us; very happy! It was a good day spending time with the elephants. It’s a smaller sanctuary that houses 3 of them . They’re very well cared for and since it’s a smaller sanctuary they could use every bit of money they can get to help pay for food and especially medical care for the elephants. I didn’t know it at the time but I’m glad I went to this smaller venue rather than a larger one, and was able to support them. Everyone was so kind and they took good care of us. Bathing and playing with the elephants was especially an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend!Written October 13, 2023
- Ivan M0 contributionsBest experience!Can only recommend. Amazing experience with beautiful animals. We could feed them, take a lot oh photos hugging them and also swim with them Best cruelty free experience. Staff here are taking amazing and loving care. We will definitely come back againWritten October 12, 2023
- yunxiaj20170 contributionsEthical Sanctuary!!Awesome driver and unforgettable experience!! Pattaya Elephant sanctuary is from my point of view an ethical sanctuary. Happy elephants and amazing people taking care of them!Written September 2, 2023
- sarahporter940 contributionsAmazing elephants!!The experience itself was absolutely amazing, the company its self let us down a bit though!! We loved every minute with the elephants and hearing their story. The elephants are so happy and you could tell they enjoy it there. Our driver was really sweet, waited all day and made sure we were okay! Such a great day with The elephants and can't rate the elephant sanctuary high enough!!!! The issue was that the company never contacted us about our driver (they say they should 24hrs before) but we heard nothing. At the time of pick up no one was there so we had to get in contact, after about 15 mins of back and forth we were told the driver wouldn't be there for another 30mins. We had been waiting out in the hot weather for 30mins at this point. When questioned they said the original driver had been in an accident but I was a bit suspicious as we never heard anything beforehand about the driver at all. We didn't even get the list of what to bring until our driver actually showed up!! Important to note there is no photography service either (as is stated) but the guide will take pics if you ask :)Written August 4, 2023
- 550yannickb0 contributionsBucket ListBucket list trip and one we’ll never forget. Only suggestion is to let “Frankie” be more natural. His handler was constantly pushing for tricks.Written August 1, 2023
- C4394LJjenniferh0 contributionsWonderful experience with ElephantsGreat day out visiting this wonderful elephant sanctuary. Very interactive with feeding, washing and brushing and watching them frolicking in their pool. If so desired you can swim with them. It just makes you realise what such amazing creatures they are and in the past just how badly they have been treatedWritten May 10, 2023
- Z3493SWkristinm0 contributionsIncredible experienceThe elephants were so exciting to look at. Those people took such great care of them. It broke my heart that those elephants were rescued because they were overworked and had injuries, it those wonderful people took them on and took good care of them.Written April 28, 2023
- Alyssa V0 contributionsA must do!They treat the elephants so well! It was impressive to see the differences between an elephant who arrived two weeks ago compared to the elephants who have been there for years. We enjoyed feeding, bathing, walking with, and learning about each of the animals.Written January 18, 2023
- F7480SVchrisr0 contributionsGreat tour with Armeen!My son and I had a great day with Armeen! He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We were his first tour since Covid and he was nervous about his English, but it was very good. I highly recommend this tour and Armeen!Written April 11, 2022
- Kelvinder960 contributionsGoodThe tour was great and began with an early pickup from our hotel and then on to a larger, more comfortable bus. Locations, where we went, were really fascinating and we loved learning more about Thailand's history. The cruise was just the icing on top of an amazing trip, with everything you can eat lunch buffet. Highly recommended in Thailand for all tourists! I would certainly recommend my friends and family on this.Written July 16, 2020
- AnishaTasnim8220 contributionsA good day with Kids!!I booked this trip in mid-February with my kids and husband. We were picked up in the early morning from our hotel in Bangkok and head for Pattaya. We had a whole lot of fun at this water park, the staff were friendly and helpful. The sliders are good and the staff on them keep them safe without sucking the fun out of it. In the afternoon, we headed for the Teddy bear museum. The museum was huge with multiple levels. The kids enjoyed here very much. In the evening, we headed back to Bangkok and was dropped off at our hotel. Overall experience was very smooth!!Written June 25, 2020
- Khanshaheb_30210 contributionsAmazing experience in phi phi islands, ThailandHad a perfect day from beginning to end. The guide was fun and helpful. Always kept updated throughout the trip. There was a really good buffet lunch served at PhiPhi. Overall a good budget ride. Will use those as good value again. Thanks to everyone at GetAsiaTravel.Written June 24, 2020
