Have the classic elephant camps become too touristy for your clients? Is the Thai Elephant Conservation Center too long or do your clients find the talks on conservation a bit wearying? Exotissimo has discovered the perfect new alternative, one that is both authentic, small, and separated from other tourist groups.
Located in a beautiful valley on the edge of Doi Suthep National Park, the Patara Elephant Farm was founded in 2000 as part of an elephant breeding program. Throughout the day, the owner of Patar will personally lead clients through the life of an elephant owner. During this day, they will learn how to approach elephants in the bush, unchain, feed, and bath the tuskers, and eventually climb up for a unique ride through the surrounding paddy fields and jungle. With only 6 elephants, the farm keeps an intimate atmosphere that is particularly suitable for families with children.
Ask your Exotissimo tour operator at the Bangkok office to include this new program called “FULL DAY ELEPHANT OWNER” – Exotissimo tour code: ETHA/CMEO and send your clients on a really unforgettable elephant experience.
TAT has recently begun lighting up ancient Sukhothai at night. From 19:00-21:00 each weekend night, visitors will be able to enjoy a spectacular view of the ancient Lanna empire. Private light and sound show with snacks and drinks, traditional Thai performance, fireworks and Lanna lantern floating can be arranged in the park at night.
Why not make a good use of your holidays and contribute to the local community you are visiting? Located south of the Old City, Baan Kingkaew Orphanage was opened in 1966 through the generous donations of a Thai lady. Volunteering a few hours to help local nannies feed and play with the orphans or just dropping by as part of your city tour, a visit to the BaanKingkaew is a touching and unforgettable opportunity to truly connect with the people of Thailand. Exotissimo Travel Thailand really wants to support this local orphanage and can include a visit in any of the city tours of Chiang Mai without any extra cost for car or guide – simply ask your contact person at Exotissimo to include Baan Kingkaew Orphanage in the itinerary of your clients.
