DAY 1 CHIANG MAI - CHAI LAI ORCHID CAMP (-/L/D)


VISIT OUR ELEPHANT RESCUE CAMP: Arrive at an authentic elephant jungle sanctuary! Feed all the elephants in the herd, swim and play in the river, learn how to make elephant medicine and enrichment activities for the elephants and meet a baby elephant. You will plenty of time for photos, and learning how to communicate with them.  Walk with your elephant through the jungle to forage and then cool off together by bathing them in the river!

We offer only ethical elephant tours. The elephants we love and support are trained each day through positive reinforcement, helping them learn to respond to voice commands. Managing them responsibly helps us ensure these elephants can safely receive veterinary care because they trust the humans around them.


HAVE A PICNIC LUNCH: Enjoy a traditional vegetarian meal and fresh seasonal fruits as you look out onto the babbling Mae Wang river. Please let us know beforehand if you have any dietary restrictions so we can accommodate.


THAILAND JUNGLE HIKE: The length and difficulty of the hike can be adjusted to fit your ability, just let us know! On average our guests prefer to hike 2-3 hours through lush jungle terrain. Along the way you will see a wide variety of animals and plants, and your guide will share their expert jungle knowledge as you  take in the epic beauty of Northern Thailand.


SWIM IN A JUNGLE WATERFALL: Hike to a secluded jungle waterfall where you can cool off by taking a dip! This is the perfect way to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings in the jungle.


VISIT A KAREN HILL TRIBE VILLAGE: Visiting a beautiful Karen Hill Tribe village where guests will have the opportunity to explore the traditional Karen way of life. See traditional Karen houses, and learn  from your local Karen guide how indigenous people raise animals, plant crops, and enjoy their rural lifestyle. There are local artisans in each village, so this can also be a place to grab a one-of-a-kind souvenir from a local craftswoman. 


GO BAMBOO RAFTING : Glide down the lazy Mae Wang River on a traditional bamboo raft! Bamboo floats! And make for an ingenious and totally eco mode of transportation. A guide from the Lahu hill tribe community will use a bamboo paddle to steer you around the winding Mae Wang river on this handmade bamboo raft. Depending on the seasonal height of the river, rides can be from 40 min to 1 hour in duration. While most areas of the river are very shallow, life jackets are available upon request.
