About this experience

Do you know how long an elephant mother carries her baby before birth? Have you ever wondered if you can communicate with elephants, or what their favorite food really is?

If these questions spark your curiosity, join us for a meaningful half-day in an elephant paradise. Spend time up close with these gentle giants—feed them, walk alongside them, and observe their playful, naughty, and affectionate personalities in a natural setting.

Enjoy special moments like walking together and bath time, and don’t forget your camera—these memories are priceless. We’ll also prepare an authentic Thai meal for you to enjoy.

To complete your cultural experience, take part in a hands-on activity making a traditional Thai herbal inhaler. Create your own and take it home as a small but meaningful souvenir.

More than just an experience—it’s a chance to slow down, connect, and build a genuine friendship with one of the world’s most remarkable animals, while feeling the warmth and culture of Thailand.
