What to expect

1. Stop 1 · 4h

   After a one-and-a-half-hour drive, we reach the Kui Buri Visitor Center and transfer from the national park to a guided safari vehicle. We travel to the Huai Luek Wildlife Area and wait for the elephants and other animals to forage. We also visit the beautiful dry-humid forest and observe birds such as the Crested Fireback, the Indian Roller, and the Asian Spoonbill! Occasionally, we may also spot gaurs and leopards. Please note before booking: This trip is not a zoo visit. There are approximately 320 protected wild elephants left in this national park, and the chance of seeing elephants in the wild and on rough terrain is about 90-95 percent. However, we cannot guarantee 100 percent that or how many elephants you will see. Sometimes you will see them from a distance or just a few hundred meters away. There are also many other animals to observe, such as birds and gaurs. We will stay in the park about 3 Hours or sometimes until it is getting almost dark.

2. Stop 2 · 45min

   After visiting the national park, we will have a typical Thai dinner at a Thai restaurant near the national park to support the locals before returning to your hotel
