It’s time to take a hike with our newfound friends. Just keep in mind we go at their pace, not ours. Feel what it must be like to simply roam with a small herd of elephants. This is a completely natural event, the elephants are free to do what they wish.
Looking for a truly authentic Thai experience? That’s what you will find as we offer you an authentic Thai lunch prepared by the Plern Home, you can’t get more local than this. Now sit back and relax and, enjoy yourself, spend time with your newfound friends while having lunch watching the elephants.
Our guests will prepare servings of supplements and vitamins for the elephants. The guide will explain details about elephant health, diet, and the benefit of each of the added ingredients. Mahouts will join in this activity when possible, so visitors get to know the elephant that they’re “cooking” for and the mahout who cares for her.
Now it’s time to feed your prepared supplements and vitamins to our majestic creatures. Learn the importance of why we feed the supplements and vitamins to the elephants each day. It really is an amazing experience to have these gentle giants eating out of your hands.
Most visitors don’t realize how much elephants love the water. Watch as the elephants gladly take to the water. Elephants love to submerge themselves completely in water. They love to splash around and use their trunks to spray water on one another. We ask that you join in, get wet, and help bathe the elephants. Feel like swimming with an elephant? The opportunity very well may present itself.
Let’s transport to the waterfall Thai style. This journey will take about ten minutes to reach the waterfall, and parts of the drive will cut deep into the forest. Once we arrive at the waterfall we will hike for five minutes to reach the waterfall.
It’s been a long day, but great fun. Time to say farewell to all your new friends. The journey back to Chiang Mai should take about one hour. Sit back, relax and leave the driving to us.
