What makes it 51% Couple-Friendly: Couples get the same access plus photo packages for two, yet short shows, extra-cost add-ons and poor animal treatment limit romance and overall value.

They have elephants here but it looks like a sad place, the elephants don't look like living their best days. They have chains on their legs

Animal cruelty- if you love these sentient beings then please don’t do it. I saw the majestic creatures as I drove by and I was shocked that this treatment of them is still tolerated. Don’t ever ride elephants and don’t go anywhere where they train the elephants for your entertainment, for example, bathing, doing photo shoots. You can observe them and learn about their bonds, emotions and empathy.

There were several others with ri...

We just fed one of the elephants here, but it's really an elephant ride camp that has been at the top of Kata hill for many years. For just 100 Baht for bunch of bananas this is a must do attraction.

It left me feeling quite uncomfortable. You can bu...
