My friend and I joined Pat and the elephants last week (29 June 2009) for an amazing day. Pat is cool, knowledgible and truly cares for the elephants. The lunch provide was a Thai feast and the photos are first rate. There is definitely something spiritual about these animals. I will never look at an elephant the same way as... more

My wife and I spent 4 days at Patara Elephant Farm and will never forget that time. It was really amazing and the people here are so caring, fun and good hearted. Over the 4 days we felt like we really bonded with our elephants and feel so lucky that the guys at Patara took so many brilliant photos which... more

This was such an unbelievable day. The best part about Patara is the way that you really get to know and care about the elephants. At the end of the day, I really felt like Pujan was my elephant and I still love him! The day started out with a history of elephants and Pat talked a lot about why... more

Just came back from 12 days in Thailand (Chiang Mai. Bangkok and Koh Samui) and my best memory is Patara Farm. It is a unique experience where you enjoy being the owner of an elephant for a full day. You care for them, understand their moods, if they are healthy, wash them on the river, learn different ways to get... more

This place is amazing. There are no words to describe the feeling you get from spending the day caring for your elephant. Be prepared for an active day. The lunch was fabulous, our guide knowledgeable and very nice. The trainers that accompanied our group were always respectful to the elephants and to us. We got tons of video and photos... more

I don't really need to repeat the glowing reports already set out here. But I can confirm they are true. You will 'own' your elephant for a day and do all the elephant related activities described. You will be impressed by Pat's love of what he has set out to do and the abilities of the people he has working... more

Patara Elephant Farm was incredible. I was reluctant to spend the money when I compared this adventure to others but when compared to a myriad of other activities around the world this beats them all. It was worth every penny and we had a ball. In addition to the hundreds of pictures we took as a family, we were also... more

I am a big fan of elephants, and I spent a lot of time researching places in Thailand where we could spend time with them. We actually made a special trip to Chiang Mai just so we could visit Patara Elephant Farm, and I'm so glad we did. As soon as you meet Pat and his team, you can tell... more
