Отличное место, нам очень понравилось, много локаций для фотографий, много слонов, шоу слонов за дополнительную плату
It's just a botanical garden and dinosaur park. Aside from the two decent shows, there's not much else to see. The venue shows its former glory, and the baby elephants are very lively and adorable, but the mahouts were constantly asking for money, obscuring the view. The folk performances were grand, but I didn't really take much away from them.

High cost performance, cheaper than Phuket and Hua Hin.
The Elephant Village is very very very very remote. We went there in the morning and returned at noon, but it was easy to get a taxi on the way back. There was no need to queue up to ride an elephant. We went there on Sunday, and there were not as many people as said on the Internet.
Bananas are 100b for extra purchase. You can ask him to put a lot of bananas in a basket. You must tell the seller clearly that I gave me a lot of fresh bananas in a basket.
The ticket includes a cup of sugarcane juice, which is delicious, so I didn't buy a drink separately, but even if you don't consume a drink separately, you can go to the observation deck to take pictures (it is said that you can only go to the observation deck, net bag, etc. if you have to consume it online), and you can take bananas to the shore observation deck to feed the elephants that go into the water.
There is Chinese inside, and most of the service staff can speak Chinese. It is indeed mainly Chinese tourists, but I don't think it's a scam.
Three of us rode an elephant. We gave a 100b tip at the beginning (actually we had to give it after the end), so the mahout was very good at the beginning, gave us a parasol (it was very very hot on the spot, so we had to ask the mahout to give us an umbrella), and took the initiative to help us take photos with the elephant. We could ride longer if we wanted.
The performances were average, not very good, but there were a lot of interactions during the ride, such as touching various animals, interacting with transvestites, etc. These were not charged, so you could touch them boldly and take photos with your own phone. Only after the show was there a 100b charge for taking photos with the performers/animals.
There was no forced consumption throughout the whole process, and it was not as scary as Xiao Moushu said. It was just a normal attraction.
There was a rice field restaurant next door with good online reviews, but we didn't go there because the weather was too hot.
It's a bit smelly but acceptable. Riding an elephant is fun. I gave the master a 100 baht tip and took photos for free. It's a new experience in life. It's not bad. The park is very original and there are many animals. Children will like it very much.

It's quite far from the city, a 30-minute drive. The park is small and can be explored in 5 minutes. It seems that if you buy a ticket to pet the tigers, you don't need to buy the park entrance ticket, so I bought a duplicate. The smallest tiger was always sleeping. I don't think it's a good deal. It's worse than the Shanghai Wild Animal Park, where you can hold a tiger cub for just a few dozen yuan.
It was a great experience and would highly recommend to go for it

Underwater World Pattaya เป็นพิพิธภัณฑ์สัตว์น้ำในพัทยา ที่มอบประสบการณ์การสำรวจโลกใต้ทะเลที่น่าตื่นตาตื่นใจ เหมาะสำหรับทุกเพศทุกวัย โดยเฉพาะครอบครัวที่มีเด็กๆ ภายในอควาเรียมมีการจัดแสดงสัตว์น้ำหลากหลายสายพันธุ์ ทั้งจากทะเลและน้ำจืด พร้อมไฮไลท์สำคัญอย่างอุโมงค์อะคริลิกใต้น้ำที่ยาวถึง 105 เมตร ให้เดินชมสิ่งมีชีวิตใต้น้ำแบบ 180 องศา
I booked my Underwater World Pattaya ticket through Trip.com and everything went smoothly. The process was fast, convenient, and the ticket was accepted without any issues at the entrance. The aquarium itself was amazing, especially the tunnel with sharks and rays swimming overhead.A fun bonus was right outside the entrance—there was a large snake you could take photos with (for a small fee). It made the visit even more memorable! Definitely worth it for families or anyone looking for a fun day out in Pattaya.

It is a bit dated now, but still a lot of fun doing the riddles and experiencing the different environments. Good for young kids about 8 years old. The staff were very helpful and kind and the exhibits were all in good condition. A great thing to do when it's too hot outside.
If you think Pattaya is too sunny during the day, you can come here to play. It takes about 2 hours to visit the three museums. There are many choices. The wax museum, Ripley Museum, and the light and shadow museum are all suitable for all ages. There are also museums that require separate tickets to enter, which are generally horror-themed.

Quite easy to find, just off the tollway entrance. Enough shows throughout the day to make it fit into even the busiest schedules. Up close with the dolphins, even a package to swim with them! Highly recommended for the whole family.
The overall experience was great. The child was assigned a dolphin and swam with it interactively. He also took a lot of photos at the end. The dolphin trainer was also great. It was a rare experience. I will interact with dolphins again next time I go.

There are many activities such as watching elephants, riding horses, riding horses, taking a boat ride around the pond, watching shows, and renting Thai costumes.
If you want to ride an elephant in Pattaya, you must choose one. Any elephant experience at Klook costs HK$400-500 for half a day, while 3 adults and 1 child only cost HK$270 here. To satisfy your 6 wishes at once is really great value for money, the entire park is very large, expect to play all two and a half to three hours. Riding the elephant for about ten minutes, highly recommended to pay to feed the big fly, can feed and can take pictures with the elephant, and can touch, the tip is 20 beads. The other activities are good, the boat ride is very comfortable, and the splash festival has a ladyboy to create the atmosphere is fun, but remember to bring a towel. My land is very easy to open by car. Full marks recommended
