Choose tickets₹9,290 per adultElephant Jungle Sanctuary is an ethical, no-riding sanctuary where elephants rescued from logging and tourism live in a natural forest setting. Your visit starts with a talk from the mahouts about the elephants' history and behaviour, then you change into traditional clothes and prepare their favourite food.
After feeding the herd by hand, join them for a mud spa – good for their skin – and a splashy bath to wash it all off. The programme finishes with a Thai lunch or dinner and seasonal fruit before your transfer back to Pattaya.
