THAI TREK ADVENTURE offers you an exceptional day to be spent with the elephants of our small camp, far from the large facilities that usually attract tourists (our camp has fewer than ten pachyderms and is located on the edge of the jungle in the Baan Tung La Korn region, 60 kilometers north of Chiang Mai). On the program: bathing with the elephants, learning how to guide an elephant by voice, caring for the animals, preparing their meals, gathering food, evening with the elephants, dinner, and overnight stay in our jungle-edge camp... An extraordinary day and night for both adults and children, experienced in respect and love for these fabulous animals, the Asian elephants.
