ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! We went to this place to see elephants but when we arrived their feet were chained together in a tiny enclosure whilst they were visibly distressed trying to move. With lots of research suggesting that elephants are very advanced creatures, this is especially cruel and disgusting behaviour. I felt sick in a way I haven’t before seeing their distress. The only good thing that came out of it was that we all felt it was horrible so decided to donate to Elephant Aid International - a charity which works to release the elephants being held in awful conditions like this in Asia. DO NOT GO HERE AND DO NOT SUPPORT THEIR EVIL BUSINESS

Animal abuse! Those poor animals are mistreated, elephant riding should be strictly forbidden! Horrible place, saw it on the way to the Buddha. Elephants are chained and can barely move, maybe a 30cm chain Do not choose any activities here!

No one should go to this place and support a business that tortures animals like this. The baby elephant was only tied to a leash about 1 meter short and could hardly move and was already quite apathetic. Poor animals, avoid this place to protect the animals!

Animal cruelty, sad elephants on short chain, being forced to stay in the same place all day. I wish all the similar best for the owners, the staff, and the visitors! Shame.

STOP SUPPORTING ANIMAL CRUELTY!!! It's unbelievable that people are bringing their children to torture these magnificent animals,. Yes, if you come here and take an elephant ride or pay these terrible people money to make poor elephants make tricks for you it means you are actively contributing to their torturing!

Absolutely DISGUSTING. This is pure animal abuse, I burst out into tears just seeing how horrible the elephants are treated! The elephants feet are chained. Riding & using elephants for entertainment causes them extreme physical & psychological suffering. It’s not even enjoyable or safe why on earth do people even go here. I recommend going to Phuket Elephant Sanctuary or Elephant care. They are ethical, you get to visit elephants without abusing them! I just can’t believe places like this still exist..

These poor elephants are tied with chains and restricted to a small area. Handlers have a stick with a very sharp hook at the end to discipline the elephant if it doesn't behave like they want. I left there anxious and depressed.

I'd previously been informed that elephant rides and feeding had been banned, apparently not. These animals when not carrying people were tethered by very short chains, allowing only a side step. There were exotic parrots held in cages. Sorry but I can enthuse about this "attraction" it was too sad.

Anyone who goes to this place is supporting animal cruelty. They should be shut down and those poor elephants put in an ETHICAL Sanctuary. SAD AND DISCUSTING. We saw at least 10 elephants all with chains around their legs and less than a meter to move. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS !!!!

Absolutely disgusting. ANIMAL CRUELTY is so obvious and tourists continue to support. Staff and tourists should be ashamed of themselves. Disgusting to witness can't believe elephants are the national animal of Thailand and treated like this.

We were brought here by our scammer taxi driver and we’re SO APPALLED by the disgusting living conditions of these poor elephants. The baby elephant is chained to the ground with a super short chain, struggling to move and is obviously starving with its eagerness to ask for food. The baby elephant should be with its mother instead of being treated like an accessory for the profit of this disgusting place. Please do not support this establishment and divert your attention to other ethical sanctuaries for elephants in Phuket instead.

WAKE UP PEOPLE! Can't believe people are so naive, cruel and has no critical thinking! Those who support places like this are abusing animals same as these people who captured them and torture them!!! TOURISTS WAKE UP!!!!! I passed this place going to big Buddha and wanted to cry! So many people lining to torture these beautiful animals and ride on them, makes me sick! THEY ARE ALL CHAINED! The elephants are clearly unwell! Stop supporting animal torturers!

This place is so sad and horrible! The elephants are spread out and chained with leads so short they can’t even take one step. They shuffle back and forth showing clear signs of neurological distress. See the video I took. I also saw a handler using a sharp hook on a baby elephant. How can the local government allow this level of cruelty???

Drove by this place on the way to the big Buddha. Elephants are kept on disgustingly short chains, with heavy equipment on their backs maybe 1-2 meters away from the road. Clearly animal abuse at its height. Please don’t go here, it is disgusting that these places can even stay open. If you want to see the elephants please do some research before hand, find a place where these beautiful animals are respected and well cared for. Do not ride them or unnecessarily get in their space.

Nice place. I couldn't see any bruises in the elephant we rode at least which show the care they take unlike other countries

Excellent place to have an experience with elephants. Happy animals well looked after by friendly staff.

Elephant ride during our vacation it was truly an unforgettable experience. Riding these majestic creatures through the jungle was both thrilling and humbling. The guides were knowledgeable and ensured our safety throughout the journey. Highly recommended!

Hello everyone, do follow my reviews and please help me to click 'like 👍', god bless you. You can visit this place when ur on the way down from Phuket Big Buddha. We did a stop and purchase a small snack for the young elephant for just 100baht, u can feed, have a photo opportunity and get a kiss from the young elephant. Do support them so these beautiful land mammals can always have a good environment to live in.

Worse place ever! Elephants abuse here for a few photos… non ethical at all. So sad to see. The baby elephant has 1 meter of rop tie to his leg and he can barely move and all elephants has the >20kilo cchairs on their back to carry tourists!!!

Beautiful elephants, and well take care of. I didn’t buy a ticket for any activities with the animals, but got to take pictures and get up close for free. You can feed them for a small fee, and the employees there were very kind. Spoke English very well.

A wonderful find on the way down from seeing the The Big Buddha. Owner was very sweet and made it an enjoyable experience. My friend loves elephants so she absolutely loved the experience.
