Thaithani Cultural Village & Elephant Pattaya

Thai Thani is a recreated old-Siam village south of Pattaya in Bang Sare, built to show off traditional crafts and architecture. The base ticket gets you an hour of hands-on Thai folk activities — massage, fruit carving, candy and silk making. It's touristy and staged, but decent for families or a rainy afternoon. Pricier package tickets add meals and evening performances; the entry-only rate is the cheap way in.
