Everyday those animals have to work and work and work till they died. It was my first time riding elephant and it was awesome. However, the route that they travelled is so dirty and not even that the elephant have to shun from the faeces on the ground. It stinks.

Its living with elephants. How they move logs, how they take shower, and I was lucky to see the birth of a baby elephant too. I visited around April 2008 (during Songkran).

very disappointing. Expensive, dirty, horrible. Save your money and go to Singapore instead. Thailand is really poor. Dirty place.

With the demise of the Teak trade most of Thailands working elephants became redundant overnight , this gave the Elephant farm the chance to show off the skills of the elephants to the public , you have a long ride on an elephant which is a weird sensation in it`self and also a sword fighting display by Thai actors who...

The elephant show was interesting but very touristy as was the cultural show there-- the kick boxing demonstration seemed like a joke

Got up close and personal with the elephants. Enjoyed feeding the elephants and a lovely ride too. Take plenty of fluids and clothes you dont mind getting a bit dirty/dusty.

I've visited here 3 times now as our three children all hit the age that they considered themselves worthy and able to ride the Elephants. The price has gone up quite a bit which is justified by them saying it all goes to the elephants. It just gets the feel of being a little bit of a money spinner with... More
