Home To The Elephants
- An Elephant Tour Thailand

Arrive in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand and one of the most visited cities in the world. Upon arrival, you will be escorted to meet your private guide and driver who will privately transfer you to your hotel to check-in.

In Bangkok, you will stay at the Chakrabongse Villas - a gem of metropolitan Bangkok, sitting elegantly on the banks of the Chao Phraya River.

Take a flight north today to Chiang Mai, a colorful region of hill-valleys, mighty rivers, magnificent temples, and fascinating hill-tribe villages. Upon arriving at the airport, you will be transferred privately to Rachamankha Hotel to check-in.

A local guide will meet you in the evening to take you to Chiang Mai Night Bazaar - one of the most fascinating night markets in Thailand. This night market is a hive of activity after dark - where stall after stall serves up local handicrafts, souvenirs, irresistible street food, and drinks of every kind, making it a great place for a relaxing stroll at night. Stop at a local restaurant where you will try specialties in the local cuisine.

Volunteering at the park offers an opportunity to engage with beautiful animals that can enrich your life experience.

Every day you will help prepare food for the elephant, feed them, and see the delight they have playing around in their herds. During your stay, you will know about the challenges facing elephant conservation in Thailand and the part that this project plays in the preservation of their herd. Other volunteering activities can include preparing the elephant bathing sites, cutting food from the plantations, and helping with any maintenance tasks around the park. This is a great way to understand and enjoy all parts of the conservation mission, whilst enjoying a place tucked away from the beaten track.

After some days at the park, you’ll know why volunteer programs that we are providing are the best Chiang Mai Thailand elephant tours. Here, the elephants are just elephants instead of a logger or an entertainer roaming the street performing tricks to beg for food and money. Despite the fact that many of them were abused in the past, none of them show any signs of stress. They are free-roaming in the wild and playful swimming in the river at the place now they call Home.

Another day in our volunteer program and another good day in which we can help the animal that we love. Though many of our tasks are not directly with the elephants, they are usually around us and let us approach to make friends. When we’re not working, we can relax at the viewing platform where we can observe all of the elephants in the park.

Enjoy the most of your day because it’s the last day you’re with the elephant. In the morning, you’ll walk with the elephants again to see them roaming in the open pasture then return to the park to feed and bathe them the last time. After a week, we’ve known all the elephants so well that we can distinguish them by their shape and attitude.

After lunch, say goodbye to these highly intelligent and loving elephants. A private car will drive us back to the city center.

This morning, we’ll head out to Chiang Rai for the next elephant experience. We’ll stop on the way to visit Wat Rong Khun - the iconic white temple in the north of Thailand. This contemporary architecture was created by a local visual artist and painter Chalermchai Kositpipat. It is filled with striking architectural symbolism from its white color, intricate use of the mirror, a sea of hands, to giant tusks on the sides of the bridge that represent the desires in mind.

After lunch at a local restaurant, get back in the car to drive to Anantara Golden Triangle. This elegant camp is perched on a hillside with sweeping views of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar. 

Thailand elephant vacation isn’t just about elephants. It can be cultural exploration. Today, you’ll be free at disposal for your own exploration or optional activities of the resort. Bring your passport and your adventurous spirit to explore three countries in one day. Go with an experienced guide to discover the contrasting characters of Thailand and Myanmar, with the option of adding an experience in Laos.

Free at leisure to discover the exotic tropical beaches and Phuketian rich culture. Or you can seek privacy in your glamorous pool villa.

Private transfer to Phuket airport for your departure flight.
