Your journey will include a new and animal-friendly experience with the elephants through living with them in a peaceful sanctuary. Safety and sanitization are our first priorities; thus, elephant riding and bathing activities are not offered here. We work with professional mahouts to take care of elephants and refrain from any forms of cruelty. Since you are in Thailand, we would like you to learn a little bit of Thai culture. The journey will take you to get an authentic experience of traditional Thai culture through activities like rubber tapping, making coconut milk, and Thai food cooking sessions.
