We will pick you up from your accommodation at approximately 8:00 – 8:30am and drive for roughly one and a half hours to the elephant park located at Doi Inthanon National Park. You will stop at a local market on the way where you can indulge in a local breakfast or pick up a Thai tea to fuel your day. On arrival you will be greeted by members of the Karen Hill Tribe, who will give you traditional clothes to wear. You will also be provided with fruit and vegetables to feed the elephants, if they are hungry. Your guide will educate you on each of the elephants, the history of the park and the ethical landscape. Then you will embark into the jungle for a shaded walk in the elephants’ habitat. During the tour, you will have the opportunity to observe the elephants in their home and offer them snacks to munch on. After this, we will provide you with a freshly prepared, authentic local meal. After lunch, you will have the chance to walk with the elephants down to the river where you can swim alongside them as you both cool off during the afternoon heat. Following this, your guide will take you to visit the local Karen village where you will walk through the village, visit their homes, learn about Karen culture and gain an understanding of the Karen people. At the end of the day, you will be dropped off at your accommodation at approximately 16:30pm.
Throughout the tour your guide will take high quality photographs, which will be shared for free, so that you can fully focus on enjoying your time with the elephants.
