Elephant Village, Hua Hin

Nice little place to see, feed, and ride elephants. Not too far from the city center, but would be easiest to get there by car.

Also has a small cafe for you to buy drinks and watch elephants walk around or being fed by tourists. The rides are 30 - 60 minutes each, and there is usually a queue to ride.

About a 0.5 - 2 hour visit, depending on if you ride the elephants or not.

A natural, nice and quiet place to relax. You can feed the elephants as well as riding them ! It also has a nice seating area which offers drinks and delicious food. Recommended ! Ps. the village is a bit hard to find. You need to go through the temple.

What this family has sacrificed for these Elephants is amazing. They are a family run operation. For more than 2 years they have done everything they can to keep the Elephants fed. Without the donations from locals these beautiful Elephants would have starved. Most of the Elephants have been raised from cubs. They could never survive in the wild. When visiting Elephant Village please thank the staff for all they have done, given up, and personal sacrifice for the love of the Elephants. When tourists return, I hope they can experience these beautiful beasts provide.

Huge elephant park. Maybe 5-6 elephants including a male elephant with tusks. There's a coffee shop where you can get coffee and look at the elephant for free.

100b to feed the elephants corn or 20b to feed the fish. 800b to ride the elephant for 30mins for an adult and 400b for children.

I've never been a big fan of elephant sanctuaries and elephant parks or anything like that. I've always been kind of scared of elephants but a friend of mine promised me that this is a good experience and dragged me along. We stopped and got fruits and vegetables for the elephants but they had some there ypu can buy for 50 baht. It was a very nice experience it's something that I'll never forget and I'll always visit when I come back in town. I've seen miss treated elephants before and these elephants are definitely not mistreated. When you go here you will see them chain but you'll notice that there is no marks around where they are chained. that's there for your safety because the male does get a little jealous of the female. But all in all it is a safe place and very fun and a great place to visit.

The reviews for this place scared me but my experience was much different. From what I saw, elephants were well taken care. We went on a 30 minutes ride and saw wild pigs, iguanas, cows and chickens. The ride took us through the jungle and water. At the end, we fed the elephants. The rider asked for a tip to take photos and it was well worth it. He was a great photographer. Go warly and avoid the heat.

not pleasant , a couple of tired leg chained elephants with apathetic mahouts trying to sell you stuff. not for animal lovers. a lake of some interest, fun to feed the fish, and exciting seeing a crocodile
