This morning, you’ll be collected from Chiang Mai Airport or your Chiang Mai hotel in an air-conditioned mini-van for the scenic two hour drive through rural Thailand to the Elephant Hills Bush Camp.

You will be able to feed some animals and interact with them as they are cared for by their mahout.
