Question 1

Do I need to book in advance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, online booking is highly recommended to secure the special discounted rates. If you arrive at the park without a voucher, you will be required to pay the "Walk-in" price, which is significantly higher. For same-day bookings, please reserve at least 30–60 minutes before you arrive

Question 2

Is the hotel transfer really free?

Accepted Answer

We offer Free Shared Roundtrip Transfers for:

Bookings with 2 or more people.

Single-person bookings of a 1-hour activity or a combo worth over ฿2,000.

Note: Pickups are available for hotels in North, Central, and South Pattaya. A small surcharge may apply for Jomtien or remote areas

Question 3

What is the age limit for the Shooting Range

Accepted Answer

The age restriction for real gun shooting is 18 years and older. You must bring a physical Passport or ID card for verification. For safety reasons, participants under 18 are not allowed to handle firearms, even with a parent.

Question 4

Can children participate in the activities?

Accepted Answer

Elephant Trekking: Suitable for all ages (infants sit with parents).

ATV / Buggy: Children aged 5+ can join as passengers. Solo drivers should be at least 12–15 years old with prior experience.

Zipline: Open to children aged 5+ who are not afraid of heights.

Question 5

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

Most activities like Elephant Trekking, ATV Off-roading, and Shooting are all-weather activities and continue during light rain (ATV is actually more fun in the mud!). In the event of extreme weather or lightning, we will offer a reschedule or a full refund.

Question 6

Are there any weight limits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for high-impact activities:

Bungee Jump & Zipline: Participants must weigh between 40kg and 120kg.

There is no weight limit for Elephant Trekking or the Shooting Range

Question 7

Is the park "Elephant Friendly"?

Accepted Answer

At Changthai Thappraya, the elephants are raised from a young age by their mahouts, creating a deep bond. While this is a traditional trekking camp (using seats), we ensure the animals are well-fed, hydrated, and given plenty of rest in the shaded jungle areas.

Question 8

What is the difference between an ATV and a Buggy?

Accepted Answer

ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle): A quad bike where you sit astride the seat (like a motorcycle). It’s more physical and great for solo thrill-seekers.

Buggy: A side-by-side vehicle with a steering wheel and a roll cage (like a small Jeep). It is easier to drive and perfect for couples or parents with a child.

Question 9

Can I visit just to take photos without doing an activity

Accepted Answer

Admission to the park grounds is free, but to access the specific activity areas (like the Shooting Range or the Elephant trekking paths), a ticket for that activity is required. The Photo with Lion and Mini Zoo are separate paid experiences.

Question 10

What is the last admission time?

Accepted Answer

While the park closes at 06:00 PM, the last check-in for activities is 04:30 PM. If you are traveling on your own, please ensure you arrive before this time to guarantee your spot.
