Description

Commence your action-packed pickup service from your hotel. Once you have boarded your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, take the short scenic drive to elephant sanctuary where your elephant experience begins. Upon arrival, you are warmly welcomed and dressed in traditional northern clothing. It’s time to meet the sanctuary’s stars and snacks as you watch a presentation about a demonstration of very important safety rules that must be followed throughout your tour. Once your presentation has finished, it's time to set-off. During your tour, you will enjoy up-close encounters with these beautiful giants, and the opportunity to feed them. Stroll through the sanctuary observing and learning about elephants as they go about their day. Relax in the designated lookouts as the elephants graze and bathe nearby. Make sure your camera is fully charged as there are lots of fabulous photo opportunities and plenty of time to thoroughly enjoy this peaceful nature reserve. Take some time out to sit and relax to drink freshly harvested herbal tea from the village while observing the elephants in their natural habitat Not only will you spend time with the elephants, there is also time to enjoy the many different species of butterflies and wild birds, or take a refreshing break at the Waterfall. You will end your visit with a craft your own Thai cultural handmade souvenir to take back home. Our journey continues as we visit to Doi Inthanon National Park and explore the slopes and summit of Thailand’s highest mountain. Experience the refreshing breeze and mist atop Thailand’s highest peak. Begin your hike at the Pha Dok Siew nature trail, where you’ll encounter rare wildlife, traverse lush rice terraces, visit a waterfall, and explore an organic Karen Hill Tribe coffee farm. Reflect on the profound connections you've made, both with the elephants and the wonders of nature, as we embark on our return journey to Chiang Mai. This is a day filled with moments of awe and serenity that you'll carry with you for a lifetime.
