In Pattaya, this is the best place to go. I have been twice, and have sent visitors there as well.

Your going to see and feed elephants so its going to be a good experience no matter what.

Dont turn your Camcorder off during your walk in the jungle. The guide stops and talks about different things along the way. Very informative.
