Description
Experience an immersive two-day journey at Khaolak Elephant Sanctuary, awarded Runner-up for Animal Welfare in 2024–2025. This overnight program follows a strict welfare-first approach with no touching, no feeding, and no bathing—only respectful observation. Start your day at 08:00 AM with hotel pickup, followed by forest walks to observe free-roaming elephants, river playtime viewing, cleaning their living areas, foraging for natural vegetation, visiting local farms, and joining simple Thai cooking activities. Enjoy lunch, relax at Sai Rung Waterfall, and settle into your bamboo bungalow before dinner. Day 2 follows the real routines of caretakers: morning observation, cleaning, foraging, cooking, a longer nature walk, and a sustainable planting session. A meaningful and slow-travel experience for true elephant lovers.Includes
