CHIANG MAI ELEPHANT VILLAGE SANCTUARY JUNGLE ADVENTURE – Chiang Mai Province, Thailand

EXPERIENCE

Your eco-friendly escapade begins when we pick you up at your hotel in the morning.

Relax and enjoy the view during the drive out of the city to the mountains. Catch a glimpse of how Thai people live in the outskirts of Chiang Mai. Notice how the environment changes from an urban to a more serene setting.

Interact with the locals when we stop for a coffee break in a small town. Walk around a fresh vegetable and meat market and feel the warmth of the villagers. Notice that many speak a northern Thai dialect.

Get your cameras out to capture the beautiful scenery as we head past green rice fields and villages into the not-too-distant mountain range.

ELEPHANT VILLAGE SANCTUARY
As we drive off the beaten track, you arrive at our Karen village, Dok Ko Ki. Don’t expect to see elephants yet, as their home is in the jungle.

Witness and experience the Karen village life, as you walk through the rice fields to our meeting place. Take videos and pictures.

Enjoy a short humorous briefing by the owner, Ken Palasu about his family, village, and elephants. Discover surprising and amusing elephant facts you never knew.

Change into traditional Karen outfits before embarking on your walking jungle safari.

MEET OUR ELEPHANTS
Your eager anticipation is over. Get ready to observe elephants feasting on the lush foliage, occasionally displaying playful antics.

Interact with the amazing giants, under our mahouts’ supervision, to ensure the elephants’ well-being. Small groups allow direct contact without stressing the creatures.

Get up close to the elephants to feel their gentle nature. Take lots of pictures and videos to capture the essence of a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

CHILL OUT AND COOL DOWN
Next, take a short trek to a waterfall, where you can cool off and swim in the pool.

The elephants await you as they frolic in the river nearby. It’s another opportunity to observe them doing what elephants do. You may help them clean themselves too.

Savor a scrumptious local lunch prepared by Ken’s family. Share stories and laughter with your fellow adventurers.
