the entrance fee was a little overpriced for me. This is only place I don't like in this tour because you have to pay your every move. Take pictures with the Elephant? Pay the handler. Printed photos of the elephant and you? Pay the photographer. You want to ride the elephant? Pay again! I beg you not to ride the elephants because they look so sad and their body was not designed to carry heavy weight One elephant that was near me had tears falling on its cheeks. Unless it wasn't crying but they just look sad and tired. The handlers are riding the elephants and they have this axe that they use which has sharp edge and I'm not sure if it's harming the poor creature. One handler made the elephant kneel for a show and it was so terrible how they did it.
There was a show and the performers will ask you to take pictures with them. I suggest that you refuse! There is payment for that picture. One performer one picture one hundred baht! Can you believe it? One Korean man was shocked because he didn't know he had to "tip" for just one picture! I do not recommend this place at all!

It's a great tourist attraction, just be aware it'll be a little pricier than other places as they have many animals, but for $50 for two including lunch, it was a pretty decent deal.

The place charges 300 THB for foreigners and it’s free for Thais. There is an elephant chained to the ground on a meter long leash just so it can be fed by tourists . Heartbreaking

Coconut Smoothie
It's a nice and reasonable cafe, drinks to foods they charge 300THB for non Thais (with 1 free drink from the cafe, a show )It's suitable for every ages from kids to adults. It's my 3rd time time here and this time I'm with my employer family. Just prepare sunscreen, mosquito repellent and a fan for kids cos it tends to get hot. We are just lucky this time not that many people. Although I'm not a fan of any elephant activities such as riding etc.

Quit a distant to get here but it is ok as long as the traffic is not bad. Free entrance fee for Thai people . Foreigner has a price for ticket. Everyone is mandatory to buy 1 drink for the show. (Drinks are very sweet) There are shows of lady dancing and elephant will come shortly for some scenes. I like the elephant ride crossing the small swamp with the bushes and big trees as the background.

nice place and would go again just for a pleasant afternoon out of town closer to nature and some animals.
I have seen other review stating it is free and only asking for donations. not completely true. if thai yes, if farang no. farang/foriegner even with proof of long term residence or local driver licence. the price is 300 baht where they give you a coupon for a "free" coffee or drink.
that aside it is a nice place for most people, snacks, coffee shop, mini zoo pond and stage performances.
parking is ok, not handicap but level. if in a wheelchair it is not good to visit, walk with a cane ok, some limits. some parking for cars only next to the front entry, around the side a larger area that can have busses.
the mini zoo had 3 or 4 types of goats, deer. water buffalo, pond, ostriches, racoon, marmoset, meerkat, small spotted cat, tortoise, parrot, parakeets, peacock. small monkey. many were friendly to feed. the sold bananas 100 baht, carrots 50 baht, bird fish food 20 baht, lots of green trees, pond with several seating options, seating area on ground level close to the stage show and pond with a top floor to get a better view of both the show and pond where they had swans, koi fish and the elephant rides took riders thru.
there are many photo opportunities, the bathrooms were clean with running water and soap. there are 1 or 3 steps depending on the room but no handrails.
the drinks selection is typical but some items were reasonable, fried rices a pizza normal price but coffee 150, slice of cake 160.
they had a market area but many unused stalls, the had an open sir show with costumes, lip syncing and an elephant. there were at least 2 other stages under a roof.
as I understand it the Cafe is a recent addition to try to support both the elephants and village of people that care for them.

This place is interesting and wild, and they have an exotic musical show. You won’t come here for the best food or drink but for entertainment and a fun time with your loved ones, especially children. It’s one of a lifetime, and you won’t see this at the Animal Kingdom of Disney World. These are working elephants; they get treated well with tourists’ money (You wouldn't be near wild elephants anyway). They offer a couple of lengths of elephant trekking; the fun part is riding the elephants through a pond which helps cool them down from the heat. The queue for riding an elephant can be cumbersome depending on the line waiting. The cafe has a mini zoo you and your kids can explore.
The place tends to have primarily Asian visitors and can be very crowded since they would typically come on a tour bus, and you never know what time of the day for a load of tour buses will arrive. Anyhow, still not as crazy busy as Disney World.

I went today, Sunday, and they had a short musical show which was colorful and entertaining. Actors did very well their parts. Wonderful performance! 👍👍👍
Place was cozy and relaxing. Free entrance! Before, there was a fee to enter the Elephant Village.
Good to know that they put up the cafe to help feed the elephants and other animals there as they were closed during the height of the pandemic. So it felt good when i went there for lunch, i helped the animals survive too. 🥰🥰
In fairness, the food tasted well also. Really enjoyed and worth my time there! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
