H2) Elephant Ride + Bamboo Rafting
From Chiang Dao Nest we will drive to meet our elephants. We will ride elephants for about 60 mins to a Palaung village. After this we will head to our raft for a relaxing float down river aboard a bamboo raft.
Price (Private Tours only)
895 baht each
Maximum 8 People (not including guide(s) / carrier(s))

Transport, Elephant Ride, Bamboo Raft.
N.B. As with any elephant and rafting set up, they have to have a certain number of visitors to make them viable. While we definitely cannot say that you won't see other foreigners, we can say that the villagers whose services we use, operate on a much smaller scale than most of the other set ups in North Thailand.

H3) Chiang Dao Elephant Training Centre (Center)
Taeng Dao Elephant Training Centre is about 20 mins drive from Chiang Dao Nest. We can arrange your transport so that you get to see an elephant show (they start at 9.00am and 10.00am). The show involves watching elephants bathing and being cleaned by their mahoots in the Ping River, followed by a demonstation of some of the traditional skills used by the elephants for logging purposes. At the end of the show it is possible to have a ride on an elephant, and to go bamboo rafting.
