9 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

This full-day activity is more than just going to the Kui Buri National Park to see the wildlife. You will get involved with activities with local people who live on the border of the National Park and experience how they are learning to co-exist with elephants. You will understand how they are earning an income by growing crops and products that repel elephants who previously and unknowingly would destroy their crops. This is about real people, a real problem, and building a sustainable future for this community and the elephants that live next to their farms. You will make lip balm from local bees' wax, tie dye using local soil and make lunch with the locals, local style.
