What To Expect
Plunge into Chiang Mai’s lush countryside at an Elephant Sanctuary, a haven founded by the Karen Hill Tribe to protect elephants and promote ethical tourism. This sanctuary provides a natural environment where elephants roam freely, fostering a deep connection between humans and wildlife. Enjoy round-trip transfers, then change into traditional Karen attire to begin your journey. Prepare food for the elephants while learning about their history and personalities. Observe their behaviors as they bathe, roam, and bond. Savor herbal tea, cool off at a serene waterfall, and craft a Thai souvenir. End your adventure with a peaceful bamboo rafting journey along the Wang River. Perfect for families, couples, and groups, this tour blends culture, nature, and adventure.
