Next, you will visit Wat Po, which is the oldest and largest temple in Bangkok.

Breakfast at your hotel or breakfast box

Today we will enjoy an amazing trip to the Top-end Elephant Parks in the North of Thailand. This is the only elephant breeding farm in Thailand.

  • 08:00 – 08:30 | Pick-Up from Your Hotel We'll collect you from your accommodation in Chiang Mai.
  • 08:30 – 10:00 | Drive to the SanctuaryAbout 1.5 hours through the countryside—rice fields, forest, and small villages along the way.
  • 10:00 – 10:20 | Meet the Team & Get to Know the Elephants:Change into traditional Karen clothing and sit down with our team. Before you meet the elephants, you'll hear about who they are — their names, where they came from, and what makes each one different. By the time you walk out to meet them, they won't be strangers.
  • 10:20 – 10:40 | First Meeting — Feed the ElephantsYour first moment face to face. You'll prepare fruit and feed them by hand and start to see for yourself whether their personality matches what you heard about them.
  • 10:40 – 11:00 | Morning Health Check with the Vet Every morning our vet checks on the elephants you just met. You'll join in, help record observations, and ask questions directly. Short but one of the more eye-opening parts of the day.
  • 11:00 – 11:20 | Prepare Herbal Supplements Now that you know what each elephant needs, you'll help prepare the natural supplements our vet recommends and understand exactly how what you're making connects to their health.
  • 11:20 – 11:40  |  Make Khanom Krok Try making Thailand's traditional coconut pancakes with the team
  • 12:00 – 13:00 | Lunch: Sit down to a fresh Thai meal. A good moment to slow down and take in everything from the morning.
  • 13:00 – 13:20 | Mud Spa The most relaxed part of the morning. Mud protects elephant skin from sun and insects—and this is usually the part nobody wants to leave.
  • 13:20 – 13:40 | River Bathing Walk with the elephants down to the river and help with their afternoon bath. By now you know them well enough that this feels less like an activity and more like just spending time together.
  • 14:00 – 14:20 | Watch the Elephants Take a quiet moment to observe the herd from a distance — no feeding, no interaction, just elephants being themselves. Our team will help you read what you're seeing: how they move, how they communicate, and what their behavior tells you about how they're feeling. After a morning up close, this is a different kind of connection.
  • 14:20 – 15:00 | Make Their Farewell Treat — Elephant CakeUsing banana, pumpkin, rice, and seasonal fruit, you'll put together a handcrafted treat for the elephants you've spent the day with. Then hand it to them yourself.
  • 15:00 – 15:30 | Farewell A proper goodbye — to elephants you now know by name.
  • 15:45 – 17:15 | Drive Back to Chiang Mai
  • 17:15 – 17:30 | Drop-Off at Your Hotel

The excursion will take you to explore the floating village and allow you to see how people live and trade.

    ” Possiamo dire che è stata la luna di miele perfetta. Abbiamo avuto la possibilità di entrare a stretto contatto con la gente locale, di vivere diverse esperienze molto interessanti e di visitare dei posti fantastici. Tutto era organizzato in maniera perfetta grazie anche al validissimo supporto del nostro corrispondente Roberto, che non ci ha mai lasciati soli. Da dietro le quinte ci ha assistito per tutta la durata del nostro magnifico viaggio di nozze, dandoci un valido supporto per qualsiasi cosa. Le guide e i drivers erano sempre puntuali, cordiali, molto disponibili e molto preparati. Difficile dire in una sola frase cosa ci sia piaciuto. In una sola parola: TUTTO. L’organizzazione pre e durante il nostro viaggio è stata ineccepibile. Non possiamo che ringraziare Roberto ed Eurasie per questa meravigliosa esperienza.”
