Elephant Tour Tips

• 👟
  Wear shoes you don't mind getting wet or dirty. Flip-flops are not recommended. Trainers or closed-toe sandals are ideal — during some parts of the river walk the water can reach 30–45 cm deep. (For full day and afternoon half day tours.)
• 💧
  Bring drinking water for the jungle walk. Stay well hydrated throughout the day.
• ☀️
  Apply sunscreen before departure. You may also want to bring insect repellent or bug spray for the jungle sections.
• 📱
  Charge your phone fully! We will send you photos and videos free of charge within 1 day after your tour.
• 🧢
  We recommend wearing a hat throughout the tour to protect yourself from the sun.
• 👘
  We provide Karen outfits free to borrow for the full day — lightweight, quick-drying fabric that is comfortable for all activities.
• 🍳
  Eat a good breakfast — lunch will be served at around 12:00 noon.
• 🩱
  Wear a swimsuit under your Karen outfit to be ready for swimming in the river or at the waterfall. (For full day and afternoon half day tours.)
• 🗺️
  Our guide's name is Pat — he comes from the local hill tribe, has worked with elephants his whole life, and speaks excellent English. You will get a truly authentic experience in the mountains of northern Thailand.

100% Natural Experience

We never force our elephants to do anything. Please keep in mind that these magnificent animals are highly intelligent — we travel at their pace.

Your experience with the elephants will be 100% natural. You will touch and interact with these beautiful animals directly. It is truly magical. Thank you for supporting the Elephant Bliss project.
