We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the care given to these elephants and riding them. The handlers were very careful to clean the elephants prior to saddling them. They fed them and bathed them. The elephants seemed content to follow the handlers about and they all seemed in good flesh and healthy. The elephants also seemed to enjoy interacting with the guests, asking for bananas from their passengers (which the staff gave a bag of before we went up the structure to embark upon our ride). The elephants will kiss you and take your money to pay for trinkets as well. The kisses are a bit dirty so take a wet wipe.

I give this place only two stars because I don’t like how the elephants looked , meaning they looked tired and over worked. My wife and I did not want to ride the animals we just wanted to feed them. When we got there one staff came to us asking if we wanted to ride we said no we only wanted to feed and pet if that’s okay, see looked surprised like no one ever said that. Anyway we paid for 2 bags of bananas and was shown a small pen with a baby and a medium sized elephant. At first we were like ok great but when we got there we saw that these animals were kept in chains all day and they could only move about 2 feet and I’m being generous here with the measurements. Anyway we hurried up and fed then a the 2 animals and we told our driver that we wanted to leave he said that he know of another place but we said that okay we wanted to go see big Buddha.

DO NOT GO HERE! We did not ride elephants. This was part of our city tour and it messed up our mood. The elephants are mistreated, they have wounds on their ankles from the chains they’re in, the baby elephant is kept in a pen all day where you’re charged 100 TBH for a small bag of bananas to feed it. The riders kick the elephants behind the ears to make them “go” and use a pick axe to hold the elephants still while tourists hop on and off and the poles have barbed wires that prevents the elephants from moving side to side. If the elephants “misbehave” then they get an axe to the head. It was horrible to witness. Boycott this place! Go to Elephant Jungle Sanctuary instead, they treat their elephants way better and with respect and no riding!

We visited Phuket Kathu Elephant. The Elephant was so big it's unbelievable. My family and I did a ride tour to the mountain which was amazing. We took some amazing pictures. Everything about this experience was amazing. Highly recommended when you're in Phuket.

You can pet and elephants here. Make sure you buy some bananas for them to give you a good ride and not go around. You don't really seat or ride directly the elephant. You seat on a bench on top of it and there is a rider
