We drive with an air-conditioned vehicle to the north, a mere 30 km, to reach the popular Mae-sa valley and it’s tourist attractions. First stop at the Maesa Elephant Camp, the largest elephant camp in the north of Thailand.
Their philosophy is to create a natural and healthy environment for the elephants while working to conserve and breed them, due to the dwindling number of Asian elephants left in the wild. You will see the elephants show where the elephants demonstrate their skills. Strenght to pull and haul logs, agility to play football and even paint skillfully with a brush. You can have also the chance to observe the elephants bathing and the baby elephants at their nursery.
The camp is set in beautiful forest setting with a small stream and waterfall.
