Elephant Hills LAKE Safari - 4 days
Surat Thani
Elephant Hills are Thailand's first Luxury Tented Jungle Camps combining the camp idea of African national parks with the Thai tropical forest environment of the elephant park in and around the stunningly beautiful Khao Sok national park area.
There are two camps - the Elephant Camp and the Rainforest Camp. Both camps are situated in the Khao Sok National Park in Southern Thailand, approximately two hours apart from each other. They are also close to famous beaches and honeymoon destinations like Phuket, Khao Lak, Krabi and even Koh Samui.
Due to ethical reasons, they do not offer elephant riding at Elephant Hills. Instead, you will get to feed and interact with Asia's largest land animal during your unique, award-winning Elephant Experience at their elephant park.
