Elephant Show at Nong Nooch Tropical Garden | Pattaya | Thailand

Elephant Show at Nong Nooch Tropical Garden ( 06 jan 2019 visit)

The elephant show itself was worth the price of admission! Just make sure you keep the stub when you pay admission since they ask for it at the theatre entrance.

The park itself was decent but a bit of a letdown after reading the ecstatic reviews from most reviewers. I didn't like the fact that they didn't distribute a map at the entrance. You can only get the map at the information booth that most would only stumble across. There were few signs on the park and no map displayed.

I didn't like how an army of little kids were selling bananas at the elephant show. Aren't there child labor laws in Thailand?

It was interesting seeing elephants roam the park carrying passengers.

Food was very decently priced. You can eat heartily for $5. Most amusement parks would jack up the price of food.

People interested in the park might want to come as part of a packaged tour that includes transportation and admission. Pattaya taxi drivers do not use their meters and would quote extortionist rates. It cost me B350 to go and B400 to return by taxi.

Traveling to/from the park in a sawngteow, as described by the park's website, is a nonsense and silly option since it's difficult figuring their routes. You're more likely to get lost.
