We came to this beach, which everyone praises in the reviews, Cons: every step costs money-to feed an elephant 500 baht, so that you don't take pictures yourself, but the photographer also 500 baht, so that they take you off a drone from above 1000 baht, ride elephants 1600 baht minimum price- elephant riding (in fact, I rode on it's 3 minutes in the literal sense) according to the photo, it's not 6-7 minutes on an elephant yet, in general, I spent a maximum of 10 minutes on everything, not taking into account feeding elephants, Plus: the fact that there will be memories with elephants and that's it Conclusion: for each person in their own way, not everyone is ready to give 4 thousand rubles in 10 minutes.

Entrance to the territory is 100W per person. There are cafes and recreation areas at the bottom of the beach. A 300W chaise longue for the whole day. Padtai 250W. Sap for an hour is 167W. Beer 150W. Cocktail 210W. Elephants come to the beach if there are tourists who have paid for a photo shoot with them. The situation is not perfect. There are not many visitors. Comfortably. Beautiful view of Patong. You can leave the beach by skating rink. We were offered 1500W for 4 people. We refused. Transvert drives to and from the beach (included in the ticket price)

An incredibly beautiful place! Initially, we were looking for an elephant farm where elephants are not tortured, they are not ridden on them, but you can just admire, pet and feed them. It hurts to see elephants on a chain. Here, the elephants look quite happy and not slaughtered. They beg for treats from the staff, cheat and demonstrate a complete lack of fear and dislike for the staff. We took a taxi from Kata beach for 1,500 baht. The entrance is 100 baht, the child participated in the program alone, his ticket is 1600 baht. We feel sorry for the elephants and we did not plan to climb on them, we did not want to pay 1400-1600 baht for each one. The program is quite short, 10 minutes. Then the elephants are doused with water and they go to rest. A basket with carrots is 100 baht, you can also come and feed it. Food, of course, is expensive there, drinks are also 2-3 times more expensive than everywhere else. But the area is very beautiful, you can stay on the free sun loungers and swim in this picturesque place. There are organized photo zones, but even without them there is a place to take pictures
