Whether you are staying in Pattaya, arriving on a cruise ship for a Laem Chabang shore excursion, or visiting from Bangkok, we can help you arrange a memorable elephant sanctuary experience in Thailand.
Meet and Feed the Elephants
One of the most memorable parts of your Pattaya elephant tour is the opportunity to meet the resident elephants up close. Your guide will introduce you to the herd and share interesting information about elephant behavior, history, and daily life at the sanctuary.
You will have the opportunity to hand-feed the elephants their favorite snacks and spend time observing their unique personalities. Feeding is an interactive and enjoyable way to get closer to these magnificent animals while learning more about their dietary needs and natural behavior.
This hands-on elephant feeding experience in Pattaya allows visitors to take memorable photographs and enjoy special moments with the herd. Every elephant has its own personality, and spending time with them offers a fascinating insight into these intelligent and social animals.
Enjoy a Fun Elephant Mud Spa
Get ready to get messy during the exciting elephant mud spa experience. Mud plays an important role in an elephant's natural behavior and can help protect their skin from the sun and insects.
During this activity, you will join the elephants and enjoy playful moments in the mud. Under the guidance of the sanctuary team, participants can take part in the experience while learning more about elephant behavior and care.
The mud spa is one of the highlights of this half day elephant experience in Pattaya. It is fun, interactive, and perfect for travelers who want something completely different from a traditional sightseeing tour.
Remember to bring clothes that you do not mind getting wet or muddy, because this activity is designed for guests who are ready to enjoy a true hands-on adventure.
Bathe and Brush the Elephants
After the mud spa, it is time to cool down and continue your elephant bathing experience in Pattaya. Join the elephants in the refreshing outdoor pool and help brush and clean them while they enjoy the water.
This is a wonderful opportunity to observe the elephants in a relaxed environment. You may see them splashing, playing, and enjoying the cool water while you take part in the bathing activity.
The Pattaya Elephant Jungle Sanctuary provides an unforgettable setting for visitors who want to experience more than simply watching elephants from a distance. The program is designed around interactive activities, allowing guests to spend meaningful time close to the animals.
Please follow all instructions from your guide and handlers throughout the activity to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Learn About Thai Culture with a Som Tum Demonstration

Som Tum, Thailand's famous spicy papaya salad, is one of the country's most popular dishes. Watch how the ingredients are prepared and learn more about the flavors that make Thai cuisine so special.
This cultural element adds another enjoyable dimension to your Pattaya activity, combining animal interaction, local culture, and traditional Thai food into one memorable half-day experience.
Relax with a Freshly Prepared Thai Buffet

Sharing a meal is the perfect way to reflect on the experiences of the day. After feeding, interacting with, bathing, and spending time with the elephants, you can sit back and enjoy authentic Thai flavors in a peaceful setting.

Customer Testimonials
Yaowarat Bangkok Food Tour
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This food tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Bangkok! We booked through Phuket Travel Store, and everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish. Our guide was excellent—friendly, informative, and full of interesting stories about Bangkok's Chinatown and its amazing food scene. We sampled a fantastic variety of authentic dishes at local eateries and street food stalls, all of which were delicious. The portions were generous, the pace was relaxed, and the experience felt very authentic. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangkok. Booking through Phuket Travel Store made everything easy, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience!
Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions
We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!
Excellent day!
Excellent day by boat to visit the 4 islands, the guide was super friendly and welcoming. The day was rhythmic but lorgic with 4 islands to visit! And end around 2:30 pm so it’s rather nice to return quietly to the hotel not too late! Nice discovery, I recommend!
Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
