Guests have described this venue as a slice of heaven, though reaching it requires navigating some tricky terrain.

Reviews for Splash Cafe and Restaurant Phuket
Review highlights
Based on 160 reviewsSplash Cafe and Restaurant Phuket is frequently praised for its unique combination of dining and wildlife interaction, particularly the friendly and well-cared-for elephants that guests enjoy engaging with. Visitors often highlight the warm and attentive staff, who contribute to a welcoming atmosphere and provide helpful service. While the restaurant itself offers a simple Thai-style menu with food described as satisfactory but not exceptional, the overall experience is enhanced by the scenic, albeit somewhat challenging, location. Some feedback notes minor logistical inconveniences, such as transportation arrangements and additional fees, but these are generally seen as small drawbacks in contrast to the memorable and enjoyable visit.
This place is just gorgeous! I have paid a fee to enter, 100 baht/person, if you want to play with the elephants rhen is a higher price. The place Is a bit tricky to reach as is on a rough terrain, they bring you with a car but is not very safe (if you good in hiking, I recommend you to walk to it). When you reach there is just a piece of heaven. The restaurant is a simple thai style, a bit annoying because you have to order and pick up your own drinks and food from the counter. Overall, a great place to see and a must see in Phuket
Nice experience interacting with the friendly elephants. I lost my prescription glasses when having fun with the elephant. I cannot see well without it. When I was about to give up, the staff found it and returned to me before I was leaving. I am so gracefully with their help! Thank you so much! Nice place to visit!
We had an amazing time. Elephants looked happy and staff treated them well. I would recommend this experience for anyone visiting Phuket! Only bad side was while we were waiting for a drink from the restaurant our bus driver left. We did inform them our stuff had not arrived and we were asked to pay $200 baht to be taken back to our resort. However, that is a very small inconvenience for the amount of fun we had!
One of the best experiences me and my wife had.. staff there was very kind n polite. Food was ok not the best but ok. The experience with the elephants was great and the photoshoot turned out well. The atmosphere was just a mood.
