timetravellers Posted December 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2015 We would like to ride some elephants while we are in Thailand and I have read somewhere that we can do this at the Sanctuary of Truth, near Pattaya. Is this correct? If so, is there a queue to ride them and do they have seats? Not sure, we could manage bareback! Any info would be appreciated.

kjets Posted December 24, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 24, 2015 We were on a Princess shore excursion to the Sanctuary of Truth a year ago and it was an amazing experience but we both do not remember seeing any elephants there! We walked around quite a lot and saw the wood carvers, the temple and the gardens but didn't even see a sign referring to elephants either.

Rhisibabe Posted December 24, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 24, 2015 We have just returned from there and there were 2 elephants there with chains around their feet so I presume they were for riding. There was certainly no queue and there were plenty of people working there who you could ask about the elephants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetravellers Posted December 27, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted December 27, 2015 That doesn't sound too good re the elephants. We would really like to ride an elephant while we are there but I am having trouble finding any relevant tour, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloe kitty Posted January 11, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 11, 2016 We were in Thailand 2 years ago. We took the tour to the Tiger Zoo instead. There we were able to ride the Elephants, hold the tigers and crocs. They also had some nice shows . It was great. Afterwards, we were dropped off in Pattiya. It was an "interesting" place to walk during the day. I would not want to walk at night except maybe by the waterfront. The ship then had a shuttle back to the ship from there.

Was this a ships tour? Did you ride the elephants bareback or did they have seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloe kitty Posted January 12, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2016 That sounds lovely. Was this a ships tour? Did you ride the elephants bareback or did they have seats? They had a seat, and you boarded them from a high staircase. They also sold bananas to feed them. At the Tiger Zoo, there was a croc show that was amazing, as well as a tiger show that was great. Hope you enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
