Overview:

Description:

Drive to the north of Chiang Mai (approx. 1 hour) and visit the Elephant Camp.  At the camp, you will enjoy seeing the elephants taking their morning bath and demonstrating their skills at pushing and pulling logs.  Afterward, take an elephant ride for approximately 1 hour.  The ride will take you along the river where you will be surrounded by the lush green forest scenery that makes Northern Thailand so beautiful then you will relax on a bamboo raft, float along the river, and continue to take in the peace and tranquility.  The trip will last approximately 1 hour.

Remark: The activities at the elephant camp are a flexible program.

After the rafting journey, we'll stop for lunch then drive a bit further up north to the Chiang Dao Caves and take a walk around this unique temple where you can see a multitude of fish swimming in the beautiful ponds just outside the cave. Then explore the caves and the temple that lies within.  There are many Buddha images, stalactites and stalagmites, and different features for you to see.  Like most caves you can explore in Northern Thailand, we recommend you get to hire a local tour guide who will walk you throughout the cave with the aid of a gas lantern.  For a small fee, you get a navigator and plenty of light for your photographs. Later in the afternoon, we will go to Bua Tong Waterfalls for a refreshing swim. Get wet and have fun by climbing to the top of the limestone formation.
