Pattaya Elephant Village in Pattaya Thailand is an interesting place to visit for the tourists as the entire area houses several elephants and showcases their lifestyles. Pattaya Elephant Village Pattaya is located on Phonpraphanimit Road near Highway No.3 at Km. The Pattaya Elephant Village elaborates on the daily life of elephants and their masters. It also holds some really enjoyable stage shows for the local visitors as well as for the tourists. The Stage shows demonstrate on issues like how to catch wild elephants, elephants-at-work in the jungle, elephants playing football, a grand war, and elephants' parades. Elephant rides around the village are very enjoyable and are highly recommended for the tourists. The one-hour-long elephant shows are generally held at 14:30 hours. Apart from Pattaya Elephant Village, Elephant shows are also conducted in some other places in other parts of Pattaya like on the Sukhumvit Road in Pattaya. Pattaya Elephant Village started operating in 1973 as a sanctuary for the elephants that were not in working condition any more. These huge mammoths, through reasons of injury or ill health could no longer be used as a part of the backbone of heavy work in the jungles of Thailand but it was also needed to ensure a safe haven for them. It is from there that the idea of an Elephant Village came into being. Because of their diminishing habitat, it was also not possible to make them return to the wild. A visit to the Elephant Village is a unique experience. The fees paid by the visitors contribute to the very survival of the elephants.
