PATTAYA- THAI THANI CULTURAL VILLAGE AND ELEPHANT PATTAYA

Thai Thani Cultural Village recreates a traditional Thai village in the Sattahip / Bang Sare area, south of central Pattaya. The site is built around three things: Thai food, live performance and handicraft. You eat a Thai buffet, watch a cultural show and learn a craft of your choosing, rather than just looking at exhibits, which makes it a quieter half-day away from Pattaya’s beaches and shopping streets.

Your package combines village admission with a Thai traditional buffet, a live cultural performance show, a pottery museum pass and one hands-on workshop. Here is what each part involves:

• Thai traditional buffet — a spread of Thai dishes that includes vegetarian options as well as the regular menu. Tell us about any dietary needs at booking and we will note them with the village.
• Live cultural show — classical and folk dance, drawn from Thailand’s four regions, performed with traditional music while you eat.
• Hands-on workshops — choose one of several: a Thai cooking class (Som Tam, Pad Thai or Tom Yum), Thai dessert making, candle making, herbal-inhaler crafting, eco tie-dye, eco flower-bag printing, traditional paper-cutting or a beginner Muay Thai session.
• Thai costume dress-up — a traditional Thai outfit with accessories, hairstyling and a parasol, set up for photos. Included in Package B and C.
• Pottery museum & village grounds — the pottery museum, a small Buddhist temple and original wooden Thai houses, all within a garden you can walk around.
• Meet the elephant — the village keeps a resident elephant you can see and feed on site. This is a separate paid add-on at the venue, not part of this package.

The visit works for families with children, couples and groups of friends after something cultural and creative. Most of the time goes on eating, watching the show, crafting and walking the grounds, which keeps it manageable for older travellers. Children under 90 cm enter free, and child rates apply up to 120 cm. Each package and workshop is booked in advance, so choose your option below and reserve a slot before you travel.
