Explore the ethical coexistence of elephants with local hill tribes. Travel south of Mae Wang, Chiang Mai for about 1.5 hours through hills, forests and local farms to Pon Elephant Thailand. Meet the team and receive a briefing on the habitat, history, habits and behaviour of the elephants, as well as how to behave around them.

Highlights of this tour include taking the elephants to the river, swimming and bathing with the large elephants and their loving family. It is a truly intimate and peaceful experience. Please note that the elephants choose to bathe in the river, we do not force them, so some activities may change at short notice.
