Highlights
We offers a unique and authentic experience that focuses on learning about and observing the special bond between elephants and their mahouts. Unlike other elephant sanctuaries, we do not allow bathing or feeding the elephants to ensure their safety and well-being. Instead, you will have the opportunity to watch the mahouts as they interact with the elephants, learning about their communication and trust-building techniques, and see how they care for and feed the elephants.
During the tour, you will have the opportunity to visit local markets to purchase food for the elephants and even make herbal vitamin snack balls for them. You'll also learn about the communication and trust-building techniques used by the mahouts, and see firsthand how they care for and feed the elephants.
The highlight of the tour is undoubtedly the close-up interaction with the elephants, where you can take photos and observe them in their natural environment.
Itinerary

We are fortunate to have mahouts in our sanctuary who care deeply for the welfare of our elephants while sharing, teaching, and bringing our guests into their special world. The adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Khao Lak at 8 am. You'll be met by your guide who will brief you on how to be a mahout and the safety measures to follow during the tour. At 9 am, you'll visit the Mahout's hut and change into a mahout's outfit. You'll then take a short walk out to meet with the elephants alongside a real mahout. You'll learn how to approach the elephants, judge their temperament and gain their trust. At 10:30 am, You'll experience buying food from local stores and learn more about the local community. At 11:30 am, you'll help prepare food for the elephants and make herbal vitamin snack balls for them. You'll be amazed as you watch their trunks skillfully scoop up the food offered to them. After watching them eat and having already secured your special bond with the elephant and gained its trust. At 12:30 pm, you'll enjoy a delicious buffet lunch at the elephant camp.

This was the highlight of our trip! Spi was an excellent and fun guide. We started off by making balls of food out of bananas, rice, and tamarin for the elephants. Then we went for a short walk in the jungle while the elephant picked bamboo leaves and ate them. After that we watched the elephant bathe and then cooked pad Thai for lunch. Lunch was delicious! In addition to the pad Thai we cooked, they provided yellow curry, ridge, vegetables, fried chicken wings, fruit, and water. After that we went and cut down banana lanes to feed the elephants (again) and then went for a quick trip to a waterfall. There was so much included with this tour and it was excellent value and fun! Highly recommended!
