Jungle Adventure at Elephant Hills
Sharing a moment with one of Elephant Hills’ rescued elephants.
Deep within the lush wilderness of Khao Sok, Elephant Hills brings you as close as you can get to Thailand’s natural beauty and elephant conservation efforts: wildlife, landscapes and local communities intertwine to create an unforgettable jungle experience. Travel gently by canoe along the Sok River as you glide past sheer limestone cliffs and dense green rainforest. Settle into life at the Elephant Camp and learn how to prepare Thai food and care for a small herd of rescued elephants.
The elephant experience here is refreshingly hands-off: no riding, no tricks – just genuine connection. The mahouts will show you how to prepare and serve their feed before you watch the gentle giants wash, sharing in a few unforgettable moments of trust, mud, and joy.

Sok River canoe ride
Drift along a winding river corridor of towering trees and limestone peaks. As your guide paddles gently, listen to birdsong, watch for monkeys in the canopy, and soak in the deep tranquillity of the rainforest.
Elephant encounters
Meet the herd and their mahouts in a peaceful forest clearing. Help prepare and serve their food before the fun begins. It’s a bath time that’s more play than chore – laughter guaranteed (as is a little mud).
Jungle luxury at Elephant Hills
From the outside, the tents resemble classic African safari lodges, but step inside and it’s Thai craftsmanship and jungle comfort all the way – en-suite bathrooms, hardwood floors, and beds you’ll sink into after a day of exploring.
Cheow Lan Lake's floating camp
Wake to mist rising over still waters, with jungle reflections all around. This floating eco-camp is one of the most unique stays in Thailand – solar-powered, off-grid, and fully immersed in nature.
