The Thai vegetarian buffet will be serves during the time you watching the elephants enjoy their own time. This program is suitable with all ages and please note that the activities is not offer bathe and muddy with elephant.They need space to splash, roll around, submerge, and cover themselves in mud. Elephants like peace and quiet, not loud groups of visitors throwing mud or buckets of water at them. If people are crowding around them, it is very stressful for the elephants. Also, the mahout (handler) needs to control the elephant by forcing it to stand still or lie down, not giving any freedom for the elephant to play.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Coffee and/or Tea

It is free for Thai people. Why should foreigners pay 200 baht to enter a shopping mall. It is not a real floating market but made up for tourists.

We Travel were exceptionally organised, welcoming and (most importantly for me) wonderful with my two young children. Caring and attentive and genuinely interested in showing the children all there was to see (safely) made this not only a brilliant day out but also very reassuring the children were totally welcomed and catered for. Food served all day (think Subway on demand) and 5 great sites to see. I highly recommend this trip however I must add, we visited during Covid crisis and there were only 6 people on the entire boat. What a treat.
