Your Itinerary
Expand AllYou can customise your Thailand and Elephant Hills Bush Camp holiday by adding extra nights or destinations. Let our Asia experts know what you would like to do.

Begin your Thailand adventure in the buzzing capital city, Bangkok. The city is bursting with incredible culture, entertainment and food.
After being transferred to your chosen Bangkok hotel, freshen up and head out to explore the city. Perhaps test your haggling skills at Talad Rod Fai night market, or sample the nightlife of famous Khao San Road.
On your second day, take a tour of the Grand Palace. Once a Royal Residence, take in the spectacular architecture: the towering golden stupas and mosaic-embellished walls. With expert insights from your local guide, learn about the palace’s history and marvel at the Emerald Buddha.
On day three, explore Damneon Saduak on a Floating Market Day Tour. Travel by boat through the canals, watching merchants paddle past with fresh fruit, vegetables and other goods. The tour will also explore the coconut farm where you can pick up some souvenirs, and you will visit the famous Railway Market.

Day 6 to 8 – Elephant Hills Bush Camp
After a transfer from your Chiang Mai hotel, settle in to your luxury safari tent at Elephant Hills Bush Camp. You will be greeted with a delicious Thai buffet, before you’ll have the chance to meet the elephants. In the free-roaming elephant park, you can feed and interact with the elephants, as well as learning about the mahouts that care for them. You will be given the opportunity to meet the Karen Hilltribe, where they will teach you how to weave and cook.
On your second day at Bush Camp, head to the ‘free roaming forest’, where you can watch the elephants have their morning bath, and learn more about the elephant care and conservation. You will sample the mahouts’ regular breakfast, and then learn how to make paper from elephant dung! Enjoy a relaxed afternoon, enjoying the infinity pool or your private balcony, then reconvene with the other guests for drinks, a barbecue and a buffet dinner.
Day three is your final day at Elephant Hills, and you can feed and interact with the elephants one last time. Eat a delicious lunch, before you are transferred to Chiang Mai airport, where you will fly to Phuket, and be transferred to your hotel in Khao Lak.

Khao Sok National Park is a must-visit, where you can explore the park’s incredible biodiversity by trekking through the evergreen rainforest, kayaking down Sok River, or taking a boat tour to sparkling Cheow Larn Lake.
