Elephant Day Safari Tour

Today we drive North to the Chiang Dao Elephant Camp. On arrival we will see the Elephants bathing in the river after which there is an interesting demonstration of training and working Elephants.

We then take an Elephant Ride through the "jungle" to a Lisu Hill Tribe Village (approx. 45 minutes). After a look around the Village to see the Hill Tribes way of life, we return by Elephant, or have the option for a short walk back to the Elephant Camp, where we have lunch overlooking the River.

After lunch we have a gentle trip down-river on a Bamboo Raft (approx. 45 minutes- subject to river levels).

On our way back to the Chiangmai, we can drive to the Queen Sirikit Botanical Gardens for a look around these impressive Gardens, which have been compared by experts to the famous Kew Gardens in London and we can also call in to see a local Orchid Garden before returning to the Hotel.
