Overview

Anachak Chang Elephant Kingdom was located just outside Pattaya. This facility may be linked to the Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm in Bangkok.
The facility is rather out of the way and appears to be one of the less visited ones. It offers elephant riding as its primary activity with crocodile feeding on the side. The facility made the news in 2016 due to some rather unsafe tourist rafts that were put in the crocodile lake where the crocodiles were fed and made to launch from the water. This practice does seem to have ceased. There are numerous other animals in the facility, including leopards, jaguars, crocodiles, squirrels and pelicans. All enclosures, whilst better than most, still remain substandard and ill-kept.
Interactions
Tiger-tourist interactions often involve unnatural behaviors and environments that can lead to welfare issues. If you're looking for ethical and welfare-friendly tiger experiences, avoid places offering interactions.
