Elephant Nature Park Short Stay

Thailand is known as the “land of smiles” and for good reason! Depart from the bustling city of Bangkok to the northern gem of Chiang Mai. There’s so much to see!

Visit some of the city’s most iconic temples including, Wat Suan Dok. Here visitors have the opportunity to chat with local monks and learn more about Buddhism in Thailand. Gaze up at the beautifully contrasted white pagodas against the blue skies, with intricate gold design found all throughout the temple.

Refresh with a Thai iced coffee or a fresh fruit smoothie. Hungry? Try the mouthwatering mango sticky rice, easily a new favorite sweet treat.

Rise early to fuel up on a traditional Thai breakfast. Today we’re heading to Elephant Nature Park! This is the largest elephant rescue in Thailand. Watch as the magnificent creatures roam free and see the love & bond between elephant and caretaker. Learn about the heartbreaking history of the poor treatment of elephants and the incredible work that this organization is doing to protect them.

Tonight will be spent in the beautiful Nature Park accommodations.

Today we return to visit the gentle giants. Help out the volunteers in giving an elephant bath or feed them their favorite snack!

After we say goodbye to our new elephant friends, we’ll spend the afternoon exploring one of Southeast Asia’s largest markets. Sample bizarre and beautiful local fruits and other delicacies. Shop for classic Thai souvenirs or just wander through the rows and rows of handmade crafts.

Stay another night in Chiang Mai, or head to the airport for your departure home.
