Today we will enjoy an amazing trip to the Top-end Elephant Parks in the North of Thailand. This is the only elephant breeding farm in Thailand.

  • 08:00 – 08:30 | Pick-Up from Your Hotel We'll collect you from your accommodation in Chiang Mai.
  • 08:30 – 10:00 | Drive to the SanctuaryAbout 1.5 hours through the countryside—rice fields, forest, and small villages along the way.
  • 10:00 – 10:20 | Meet the Team & Get to Know the Elephants:Change into traditional Karen clothing and sit down with our team. Before you meet the elephants, you'll hear about who they are — their names, where they came from, and what makes each one different. By the time you walk out to meet them, they won't be strangers.
  • 10:20 – 10:40 | First Meeting — Feed the ElephantsYour first moment face to face. You'll prepare fruit and feed them by hand and start to see for yourself whether their personality matches what you heard about them.
  • 10:40 – 11:00 | Morning Health Check with the Vet Every morning our vet checks on the elephants you just met. You'll join in, help record observations, and ask questions directly. Short but one of the more eye-opening parts of the day.
  • 11:00 – 11:20 | Prepare Herbal Supplements Now that you know what each elephant needs, you'll help prepare the natural supplements our vet recommends and understand exactly how what you're making connects to their health.
  • 11:20 – 11:40  |  Make Khanom Krok Try making Thailand's traditional coconut pancakes with the team
  • 12:00 – 13:00 | Lunch: Sit down to a fresh Thai meal. A good moment to slow down and take in everything from the morning.
  • 13:00 – 13:20 | Mud Spa The most relaxed part of the morning. Mud protects elephant skin from sun and insects—and this is usually the part nobody wants to leave.
  • 13:20 – 13:40 | River Bathing Walk with the elephants down to the river and help with their afternoon bath. By now you know them well enough that this feels less like an activity and more like just spending time together.
  • 14:00 – 14:20 | Watch the Elephants Take a quiet moment to observe the herd from a distance — no feeding, no interaction, just elephants being themselves. Our team will help you read what you're seeing: how they move, how they communicate, and what their behavior tells you about how they're feeling. After a morning up close, this is a different kind of connection.
  • 14:20 – 15:00 | Make Their Farewell Treat — Elephant CakeUsing banana, pumpkin, rice, and seasonal fruit, you'll put together a handcrafted treat for the elephants you've spent the day with. Then hand it to them yourself.
  • 15:00 – 15:30 | Farewell A proper goodbye — to elephants you now know by name.
  • 15:45 – 17:15 | Drive Back to Chiang Mai
  • 17:15 – 17:30 | Drop-Off at Your Hotel

We will enjoy a boat ride on the Tonle Sap Lake. This is the largest permanent fresh-water lake in Southeast Asia and flows into Tonle Sap River, joining the Mekong in Phnom Penh. We will see a fishermen's "floating village" with floating schools, floating police station, etc. It is same as a big village floating on the lake, and the "village" move from place-to-place following water levels and current. We go to local pagoda, where you should change to clothes, we can get wet in as here we will experience the ceremony “Srouch Teok”, which roughly translates into “Water blessing”. A monk will chant in ancient Pali as he splashes water over us, washing away our sins and bad luck so we can start fresh and by being a good person can increase our good luck.

Go beyond the temples and dive into authentic Cambodian life with this extended quad bike adventure. Ride through scenic countryside, explore local communities, and experience culture, nature, and adventure—all in one unforgettable journey.

Ride away from the main roads and into the heart of rural life. You'll drive along dirt paths and narrow lanes shaded by palm trees, passing wooden stilt houses, vibrant gardens, and locals going about their day. The flat terrain makes for an easy, scenic ride suitable for all fitness levels.

Overnight in Siem Reap.

After breakfast, travel by road from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh by private vehicle and English guide. On route you will witness the everyday lives of Cambodians as you pass through interesting provincial towns, bucolic villages, and delightful scenery. This is no ‘freeway dash’ as you will often slow down to let cows and water buffalo wander across the road, pass horse drawn carriages, and school kids walking and cycling to/from school.

On route you may wish to stop off in Kampong Kdei, to look at Spean Pratos – an ancient Angkorian bridge.

Arrive in Kampong Thom, we visit Sambor Prei Kuk, which is dotted with hundred Pre-Angkor styled temples. The site, part of the Chenla Kingdom, includes an area of nearly 1000 acres enclosed by double walls, and hundreds of temples and towers; its construction predates Angkor Wat by several centuries. The road conditions are very poor, but the spectacular scenery, with a mixture of temples and forest makes the hardship all worthwhile.

Not far from Phnom Penh you may choose to stop at Skoun, also known as ‘Spiderville’ due to the deep-fried tarantula that is the local delicacy, are you adventurous enough to try one?

Upon arrival in Phnom Penh, check in and free for your own time.

    ” Possiamo dire che è stata la luna di miele perfetta. Abbiamo avuto la possibilità di entrare a stretto contatto con la gente locale, di vivere diverse esperienze molto interessanti e di visitare dei posti fantastici. Tutto era organizzato in maniera perfetta grazie anche al validissimo supporto del nostro corrispondente Roberto, che non ci ha mai lasciati soli. Da dietro le quinte ci ha assistito per tutta la durata del nostro magnifico viaggio di nozze, dandoci un valido supporto per qualsiasi cosa. Le guide e i drivers erano sempre puntuali, cordiali, molto disponibili e molto preparati. Difficile dire in una sola frase cosa ci sia piaciuto. In una sola parola: TUTTO. L’organizzazione pre e durante il nostro viaggio è stata ineccepibile. Non possiamo che ringraziare Roberto ed Eurasie per questa meravigliosa esperienza.”
