Fodor's Expert Review Nong Nooch Village

If you want to see elephants and monkeys in one trip, head to the small zoo at Nong Nooch Village. Despite its touristy nature—the elephants do silly tricks like driving scooters—this is a pleasant place, particularly if you're traveling with children. Two restaurants serve refreshments you can enjoy beneath a coconut tree. Hotels arrange transportation for morning and afternoon visits to the zoo, which is 15 km (9 miles) south of Pattaya.
