We enjoyed the ride with the elephant, that was fun. Pissed off by our elephant driver who was taking pictures of us like crazy trying to earn a large tip... (don't buy a picture before the ride with the elephant, the driver will take your picture with your camera-of course expecting a tip..). The elephant show was ok, nothing special-tourists... More

Do not go here, the animals are not treated well. The elephants are on very short chains stepping from one foot to another, totally disturbed behaviour. I cant believe that tourists stand before the animals and take pictures like crazy and do not see that the animals are not ok! One elephant after another for elephant trekking. We also visited...

My husband and I visited the safari park whilst on our honeymoon from the UK and it was the worst abuse of animals I have ever seen. The elephants are kept on small chains even the baby elephants. One baby elephant was chained up on its on with no water and it was just walking about looking very disturbed. It... More

Beware, our taxi driver recommended this place. Little did I know that the drivers get a cut for bringing people there. The place was awful, sick looking elephants, and trainers stabbing then with hooks. One of the elephant drivers told our friend in Thai, that he hadn't hadn't been allowed breakfast or water, and it was 4pm at the time...... More

What a terrible place, drugged tigers, skinny and mistreated elephants, thinking about this place almost brings me to tears. I am ashamed to have taken photos with a drugged and chained tiger which was hit in the face when it wouldn't look at the camera. We walked past a teenage elephant which was wandering round in circles because it was... More

My husband I planned to visit the waterfall but didn't realize that this attraction was attached in some way. Walked in to see a large tiger chained up clearly sedated (teeth & claws removed), a 2 month old baby walking around (and chained up minutes later) and a leopard chained up and showing such obvious signs of distress it was...

What an ADVENTURE we had on our 1-hour Elephant Trek through the beautiful jungle location, along the river with coconut palms everywhere. Our Elephant Driver (Mahout) was so much fun; our Elephant loved him and would follow all his voice commands. Near the river, we wanted to cool off and the Mahout would say one word in Thai and the... More
