Ao Nang elephant trekking

Stop press Oct 2009 - after negative feedback about cruelty to animals, we no longer sell this tour, we recommend you go elephant trekking at Phanom Bencha National Park instead.

Experience a beautiful river and jungle forest from the back of an elephant. The elephant camp is just 15 minutes from Ao Nang, where the natural environment provides permanent shade and abundant water for the elephants throughout the year. Your elephant trek will take you along a river running through the camp and into the rain forest at the foot of the beautiful "karst" mountains, with the sheer cliffs special to this area.

Often trekkers will see monkeys and birds living in their natural habitat. Elephants cost approximately US$ 500 per month for the food and care, and we ensure that ours are well provided for with water, food and shade. The elephants are well trained and accustomed to being around adults and children and pose no threat. This tour includes an hour of elephant trekking, followed by swimming and relaxation at the nature river park. We finish with a nature trek on foot, an easy walk with plenty of interest.

Price: THB 800
