Why you’ll love this…

You'll learn about the sanctuary's work and the history of elephants in Thai culture
Preparing a healthy snack for these heavyweights is a great way to connect with them
You'll go for a peaceful walk with the elephants to see their natural behaviour

What to expect

They're a symbol of the country, so a visit to an elephant sanctuary is a must on your trip to Thailand. In this two-hour experience, you'll learn about the history of these gentle giants and understand how conservation projects are supporting elephants born in captivity to live as closely as possible to how they live in the wild.

The way to an elephant's heart is through its belly, so you'll get hands-on and prepare some of their favourite snacks. Then, you'll help with feeding time as you respectfully bond with the animals on their terms.

Walking by their sides as the elephants take a stroll is a real pinch me moment. It's a chance to see their natural behaviours, so have your camera at the ready to remember every second.
