Phuket to Elephant Hills
Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Prepare for an early start as you transfer to Elephant Hills for your unforgettable 3-day Luxury Tented Jungle Camp experience in the heart of Khao Sok. After enjoying a delicious lunch, your adventure begins with a tranquil canoe trip down the Sok River. Drift gently along the water, surrounded by limestone mountains and cliffs blanketed in tropical vegetation. Keep your eyes peeled for hornbill birds soaring overhead and reptiles basking in the sun along the riverbanks. From your canoe, you’ll glimpse some of the last remaining areas of primary rainforest—a timeless world, virtually untouched for thousands of years. After your canoe safari, continue to the elephant park for an awe-inspiring Elephant Experience. Here, you’ll have the rare opportunity to see, touch, and learn about Thai elephants up close while gaining insight into the conservation efforts of Elephant Hills. Your guide will introduce you to the life of the mahout, devoted caretaker of the elephants. You’ll help prepare one of the elephants’ daily meals, including special supplements essential for their digestion and health, and enjoy the unique experience of feeding these majestic animals. This immersive encounter offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to connect with Asia’s largest land mammal in a respectful, ethical way.
As the day draws to a close, return to your safari tent to unwind and enjoy panoramic views of jungle-covered mountains. Relax at the Jungle Explorer’s Club Bar with its wide selection of cocktails, wines, and spirits. Optional evening entertainment includes a fascinating movie presentation, a traditional dance performance by local school children, and an engaging Thai cooking demonstration. Dinner is served in an open-air restaurant nestled beside the rainforest—an atmospheric and memorable dining experience surrounded by the sounds of nature. Retire for the night to your comfortable luxury tent, complete with a cozy bed, reading lights, hot water, and a western-style toilet. This is true serenity, right in the heart of the rainforest.
Elephant Hills
Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Wake to the gentle sounds of nature, with birds calling just outside your tent and gibbons’ haunting morning songs echoing through the mist-shrouded valley. Enjoy a leisurely start to your day with in-tent tea and coffee-making facilities and breakfast at your own pace, before embarking on a long-tail boat journey across the emerald waters of the spectacular Cheow-Larn Lake, a hidden gem surrounded by limestone cliffs and dense jungle. This pristine wilderness, often called the “Guilin” of Thailand, is home to a remarkable variety of wildlife, from wild elephants and hornbills to rare Asian oxen and elusive leopards and tigers. Glide past soaring mountains and soak in the raw, untouched beauty of one of Southeast Asia’s most ecologically important rainforests.
