almost instant confirmation with Klook. fuss-free and efficient way of getting entry. there’s a prepaid watch that you need to purchase in order to get food and drinks. very strict entry, no outside food, water or towels allowed. luggages are to be kept at the main entrance and there’s a guard there to watch over. it was very hot on the day we went but was extremely fun and exciting for the children especially. It’s a long way up to climb to get to the high slides and you will need to carry your mats and tubes up on your own. Some rides have a height limit of 120cm.

The bus from the airport to the old city is very cheap! The price of taking a taxi or hotel transfer is much higher than this! ! Remember to board the bus outside the domestic terminal building! It’s the domestic line! ! So after coming out of the international line, you have to walk to the domestic line! And you must go early to wait for the bus to have a seat! Otherwise, you might have to stand all the way to the old town! There are many stops in the middle, and there are also mountain roads. It is really recommended to go early and wait for the bus!

overall, our stay in Chill Nai Yang was very good considering the fact that we enjoy the whole area in Nai Yang while we have the Chill as our place to get our snooze at night. Right now, there is a construction going on across Chill although it is not typically loud but it is just a bit dusty.

Elephants seem well taken care of. Hotel pick-up and drop off made everything so easy. Given plenty of food to feed elephants with and the magnet painting was a fun activity too.

It was really interesting and a very special experience to be able to have this experience in Phuket. It was my first time seeing elephants up close and feeding them myself was really amazing and it was great to be able to take pictures with them. I recommend it!
