About this experience
Spend a full day venturing out of the city to meet rescued elephants at a sanctuary in Chonburi. The itinerary blends wildlife interaction, a jungle walk and a taste of local cuisine for an immersive Thai experience.
What to Expect
You’ll be whisked away from Bangkok early in the morning and driven to the sanctuary’s lush grounds. After a welcome briefing, you’ll share a simple Thai lunch before heading out to feed the elephants and learn about their care. A guided trek through surrounding forest lets you spot native flora and fauna, and later you’ll join the herd for a splash‑filled bath in a nearby waterway.
Who It's For
Animal lovers, families with older children, and anyone craving a nature‑focused day trip will feel at home. The activity suits travelers comfortable with moderate walking on uneven paths and who enjoy hands‑on wildlife encounters.
Good to Know
Wear breathable clothing, sturdy closed‑toe shoes, and bring a hat or sunscreen for sun protection. Light rain gear can be handy during the monsoon months, and a refillable water bottle is recommended. The sanctuary’s terrain is not wheelchair accessible, so consider mobility needs before booking.
Approx. duration: 3 - 7.5 hours

“It was an absolut great experience. I absolutely can recommend it. The transport from Bangkok worked well. The guides at the Farm were friendly and told a lot about the elephants, their background and the sanctuary. All the people were very friendly and kind to the elephants and the ticket price goes directly towards the food etc for the animals.”

“Incredible experience, our guides Mod and Chan explained everything in detail about the sanctuary and the elephants in their care. It was amazing to observe the elephants different personalities without invading their space. You’ll meet a cute little cheeky one named Charlie! 😊”
