I don’t know what the size of groups are but when we visited there was about 30 people. We all had a little time with some of the elephants and when the next group arrived they seemed to see different elephants

Hi, riding elephants is not physically good for the animal and generally to make an elephant ",conform" they will be abused, they're a money making object, a business transaction and therefore generally treated very badly. Most of the elephants here have been rescued from these environments so no, you will not be able to ride them, and I would ask you to think very carefully before going somewhere that does allow this. The visit here is very interactive, probably the best way for you to see what goes on is to follow their FB page and take a look at the pictures they post twice daily to see exactly what you'll be doing. Do remember this is a sanctuary not a zoo and so the fee you pay will go directly to protecting these majestic giants. A visit is very interactive and very worthwhile

You could get a taxi from the pier but I’m not sure if you can just turn up, maybe give them a quick call or go on the website which may give you that info

Its to the North of Pattaya but they pick you up from your hotel, Transport is included
