ELEPHANT HILLS

Thailand’s First Luxury Tented Camps

Elephant Hills – Elephant Park Thailand

Elephant Hills are Thailand’s first Luxury Tented Jungle Camps, combining the camp idea of African national parks with the Thai tropical forest environment of our elephant park. We offer 2-4 day nature soft adventure tours in and around the stunningly beautiful Khao Sok National Park area with luxury tents for nighttime accommodations.

The Elephant Camp comprises tailor-made luxury tents and has successfully been operated for over 20 years, becoming a popular destination for family vacations. The Lake Camp, one of the world’s only luxury floating tented camps, was opened in 2011 and is situated on the emerald green waters of Cheow Lan Lake.

Both camps are situated in the Khao Sok National Park in Southern Thailand, approximately two hours apart from each other, close to famous beaches and honeymoon destinations like Phuket, Khao Lak, Krabi, and Koh Samui. To facilitate travels to Elephant Hills Luxury Tented Camps and elephant park, all transfers to and from Elephant Hills are included in the tour packages and honeymoon packages. For further information on this, please read our Transfer Policy.

In addition to transfers, all Elephant Hills tours are fully inclusive of luxury tents accommodation, activities, and meals as well as the services of an English-speaking, fully trained, TAT-licensed tour guide.

Due to ethical reasons, we do not offer elephant riding at Elephant Hills. Instead, you will get to feed and interact with Asia’s largest land animal during our unique, award-winning Elephant Experience at our elephant park.

When visiting Elephant Hills’ nature park, please also consider participating in our Children’s Project. Hundreds of local schoolchildren will be absolutely delighted if you do.

Elephant Welfare Is VERY Important

Elephant Hills is home to the well-known, respected elephants of Thailand. During our amazing elephant experience, you will have the opportunity to get a look at their daily lives and interact with the endangered Asian elephants in a unique way. This is your chance to get close to the adorable pachyderms, feel their thick skin and interact with them and their mahouts, the elephant caretakers.

Chop, prepare and feed these special creatures one of their daily feeds. This elephant encounter is one-of-a-kind, an experience you will certainly not forget! Learn more about our elephant park.
