Tour Overview

Nestled along the Kok River just 45 minutes from town, Karen Ruammit Elephant Camp is a place where elephants are family, not entertainment. Run by the local Karen hill tribe, this half-day elephant experience allows you to take part in daily life at the camp—feeding, walking, and bathing elephants in a peaceful forest setting.

Your morning begins around 9:00 AM with a hotel pick-up from Chiang Rai. On the way, your guide will share the history of Karen Ruammit Village, a place known for its deep bond with elephants. When you arrive, you’ll change into traditional Karen clothing, a symbol of cultural respect and connection.

Then, the real experience begins. You’ll meet the elephant family, feed them, and prepare herbal supplements made from local ingredients. You’ll walk with them through the forest, watching how they interact naturally. The most joyful part? Bathing the elephants in the river—a fun, refreshing experience for both humans and animals.

Afterward, enjoy a homestyle Thai lunch by the water before returning to town around 1:00 PM.
