Elephant Camp - Chiang Mai

If you are visiting the North of Thailand and especially Chiang Mai, you should go for a day tour in an elephant camp. Tour are organised directly from most hotels from Chiang Mai but you can also go by yourself by taking a taxi. The tour usually includes a ride in the forest (about 1 hour), elephant show (30 min).

You can also combine this tour with a bamboo rafting down the river to relax and to have a look on the wonderful nature. A bullock cart drive can also be done between the elephant terminal and a small traditional village.

The complete tour at the Elephant Camp including bullock cart ride and bamboo rafting takes about half day.

Wildlife - Khao Lak

In places like Khao Lak or in general in Thailand, you will see many animals. Most are not dangerous and are more scared from you than you from them .... So enjoy the nature and the wildlife in Thailand .....

Here some friends met during our jungle tour or near our Resort in Khao Lak: monkeys , spiders, lezards, ... are easy to find. Just be aware if you see some snakes....

 

Jungle Tour - Khao Lak

If you stay around Khao Lak (or any other place offering this kind of tour), we would recommend a jungle tour. These kind of day tour are a little bit different than the usually tour organised for tourists; usually organised for small groups, you will stay nearer to the nature than by taking part of other day tours.

A local guide leads a small group through the jungle and will show you the different tree species. With some luck, you will also be able to see some small animal (monkeys, snakes, spiders,....).

The feeling beeing close to the nature is something you need to experiment.

Near Khao Lak, the jungle tour is organisiert quite near the coast and the view from the hills is simply wonderful
