Day 5 – Phuket to Khao Sok – The Amazing Elephant Experience

Welcome to Elephant Hills Camp. Upon arrival at your pick-up point—you will be transferred to Khao Sok. En route, catch glimpses of tropical rural life as the lush landscapes of Southern Thailand unfold. At 12:00 pm, arrive at Elephant Hills Camp and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch featuring a variety of Thai dishes, thoughtfully prepared to balance flavor with mild spice.

After lunch, prepare for a tranquil canoe safari along the Sok River. These stable and safe canoes are guided by local experts, allowing you to drift past towering limestone cliffs and dense rainforest. Hornbills may soar overhead while reptiles bask on riverbanks. This journey immerses you in one of the last areas of primary rainforest, virtually unchanged for thousands of years.

The afternoon brings the heart of your experience: the Elephant Hills Elephant Experience. Here, you will meet Asia’s largest land mammals in an ethical and sustainable environment. Learn about elephant care from the mahouts, prepare their meals including dietary supplements, and feed them yourself. This close encounter allows you to truly understand and connect with these magnificent creatures, creating a once-in-a-lifetime memory.

As the day winds down, retreat to your luxury safari tent, equipped with a comfortable bed, reading lights, hot water, and a western-style toilet. Enjoy a refreshing shower while taking in panoramic views of the surrounding jungle-covered mountains. Evening entertainment options include a movie presentation, traditional Thai dance performance, or a cooking demonstration where you can learn how to prepare authentic Thai dishes. At 8:00 pm, savor dinner beside the rainforest, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.

This is not a survival challenge, but an opportunity to observe the rainforest in all its complexity. Marvel at tropical hardwood trees with massive roots, colorful orchids, palms, ferns, bamboo, and mosses. Keep an eye out for exotic birds like hornbills, playful gibbons, and macaques swinging through the canopy. Butterflies and other rainforest creatures abound, making every step a discovery.

After your morning trek, return to Elephant Hills for a buffet lunch featuring fresh Thai cuisine. Once recharged, enjoy a refreshing shower before your onward transfer to your next hotel. Though your journey at Elephant Hills concludes, the memories of this unique rainforest experience will remain with you forever.
