点评:This visit to Pattaya Elephant Sanctuary ended up being the top highlight for my entire Thailand trip and that's saying a lot considering just how much other amazing things there are in the country including temples and food. The opportunity to not only see the elephants up close but to interact and touch them in the water was truly memorable. I was surprised just how gentle these big creatures are. And the adolescent Frankie was a real hoot as he was just like a kid when he was playing in the water. The hosts were great as they were not only informative but wanted us to get the best photos and videos taken as they know us tourists don't get to be with elephants much. I turned my video footage into a nice clip posted on YouTube as I will treasure those moments captured forever. With ethical and fun activities like those at Pattaya Elephant Sanctuary, there's really no need for elephant riding anymore. I highly recommend a visit there and you will be fed to a meal too which is a bonus.
