We had a great experience. No chains, well treat of the animals and incredible staff. Tour was around 1 hour and a half and it was time enough to have a great experience.

Our best experience during backpacking Thailand! I really took care surfing through internet trying to find the best and ethical elephant station and OMG I am so happy that we found this one! The people there were sooo welcoming, kind, nice to us and also the animals! You can see they put their heart into this job and that it is not just a job to them! We got the cheapest one, because we are on the budget, so we had “just” feeding the elephants. But it eas the best! We had like an hour to be there with elephants, feeding them all the time, could take pictures and videos! They also have photographer who was taking photos all the time and you get those photos for free! Also in the beginning you will have a bit of introduction of elephants and how its working there! The guy was soo kind and could speak english so well! In the end you have a little bar with snacks, fruits and water included! We loved this place sm! Highly recommend going there🥰🌸🌼

Приятное место, выбрали кормление слонов + искусство.
Гид подробно все рассказал, было интересно, приятный человек.
Слоны великие животные, было приятно с ними провести время!
Из того, что запомнилось: милые сувениры, ухоженная территория, красивые народные костюмы
Что не очень понравилось, без негатива, просто, как мнение:
Девушка постоянно нас фотала на свой фотоаппарат, он щелкал и это смущало и раздражало, хотелось простоты, вначале не сказали, что эти фото можно будет забрать бесплатно, может быть это как-то изменило настроение, когда я понимала бы, что это часть программы
Не хватило времени со слонами, я хотела сфотографировать на свой телефон, как будто всегда одергивали, плюс было много работников в зоне у слонов, опять не хватило
простоты и немного свободы.
Никаких звезд не снижаю, так как приходила пообщаться с чудесными животными, это получила и счастлива!

Had such a beautiful day with the elephants. It was raining but that made the experience even better. I loved it. The staff was super friendly, super helpful. You can tell they love the elephants and the elephants love them.

It was a lovely and informative day.....our guide and all the staff were most helpful, friendly and made sure we did things very safely....the elephants themselves(all female) were glorious.....we loved feeding g and washing them down....and one elephant (Mae Moo) gave us a hug with her trunk when we asked her too!
Of course, Patong Elephant Hug is very much ethical......highly recommended!
