There is a parking space and a convenient check-in. Friendly staff will meet you at the open elephant park, many of whom speak Russian and will explain what to do. A friendly woman met us, told us where the elephants came from and in what conditions they were kept earlier, it is immediately clear that they are treated with care, gently pulling on the ear, not poking with hooks and sticks, as in other reserves. They gave a huge basket for each visitor to feed the elephants, at the same time they helped with photos, the staff kindly told which of the elephants was a pamperer and who was better to feed now and what. There are sinks with soap to clean your hands and taps for your feet; cozy gazebos where you can relax and enjoy the view of playing, washing and feeding elephants. You will also be treated to sliced delicious seasonal fruits and bottled water. Climbing up, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the bay, where you can refresh yourself with the sea air and wind, swing on a swing and take a picture on a bench in the shape of a heart. In addition to feeding, we hosed down the elephants, they happily washed and wallowed in puddles of water, a happy "family".
At the exit, we were presented with beautiful key chains in the form of elephants.
I have previously been to another kennel where elephants are ridden and beaten, I can say with confidence that the animals feel comfortable and very friendly here, which indicates proper care for them.

On a trip to Thailand, we found an amazing place where you can chat with elephants in an incredibly positive, kind and eco-friendly atmosphere.
They do not ride elephants here, do not use them for entertainment purposes and do not cause harm. Elephants quietly walk around the territory without chains of other restrictions. In this place, the tourist is a guest of these incredibly intelligent and majestic animals.
There is an opportunity to treat and pet elephants, sit and observe their behavior. We were incredibly excited about communicating with animals and received a huge amount of positive emotions 🐘
The coolest place in the Patong area. We got a lot of joy from communicating with elephants and a lot of photos. The staff is very friendly, they explain how to feed, what to feed, and take photos themselves. They treat elephants respectfully there. They have their own daily routine after 5 p.m. they go to rest. Who will be there in the near future (in December 2024), write, has big mama elephant given birth to another elephant?
