    Intelligent humans with any conscience should avoid these camps, they should be closed down! Elephants are highly intelligent and sensitive animals that deserve to live freely not tortured into submission so that people can be entertained! These poor souls have been cruelly broken down so that people can ride them, take pictures or bath with them. If you want to observe elephants, please support a properly ethical sanctuary instead.

    Terrible environment for the elephants, 1 metre long chains keep them attached to a concrete floor or a tree.

    Would highly recommend you visit an ethical elephant sanctuary where they DON'T have opportunities to ride them. Where elephants have broken bones and are in rehabilitation because of the cruel companies and tourists that think they are for entertainment purposes. How would you like to carry tonnes of weight on your back and in the heat???

    The abuse these animals go through so that people can ride them is unfair, disgusting, and pure evil. Please reconsider going to this activity and rather spend your time and money going to an ethical elephant sanctuary. Where 100% of the profits go to saving these elephants from torture and abuse. If you look at the elephants you ride you can see the deep scars in their ankles and head from bull hooks and chains. There are plenty of informative videos on YouTube where you can truly see the horrors these beautiful animals go through. Elephants are one of the only animals in the world that truly have emotions such as ourselves. They have best friends, they grieve, and they have very sensitive skin. Please do not go here.

    Please don’t support practices like this. Riding elephants is damaging to their health and their bones. Instead, take some time to read up on ethical sanctuaries where you cannot ride or touch the elephants (as it should be). Absolutely shameful that elephant riding is still a thing

    Animal abuse do not go! Elephant’s are chained up! Go somewhere more ethical that respects and looks after such beautiful creatures. Please do not spend you money else where

    The elegants ate well treated and happy. They're healthy, with bright eyes and an easy gait. They can easily carry the weight of a tourist or two. I know, it is politically corrrct to hiss and shriek, if you are a sheep. These elephabts were saved from death in Burma. If people stopped paying to ride them yhey would STARVE to death. If every single person hete giving one star would pay for their ipkerp until thry die, fair enough. But liberals only care about looking good and making others look worse. So yes, by riding them you are kerping them alive and happy. Only happy people can spot happiness in an rlephant, miserable self-haters will not. Sorry, not sorry. We had a wonderful time and I encourage everyone to do the same before it is outlawed and they die.

    I absolutely recommend visiting this park! The elephants are nice and clean, and look taken care of. The ride was our absolute favorite! The guide took lots of photos and videos of us on our phone, was gentle with the animal.
