Getting close to nature, indulging your inner camper, sharing campfire stories.
In the beautiful Khao Sok National Park, Southern Thailand, just a two-hour drive from Phuket airport.
Forget everything you thought you knew about camping; each of Elephant Hills’ thirty tents is a tailor-made luxury residence with handcrafted furniture, spotless white linen and amenities on a par with those of a hotel.
A superb, varied and freshly prepared Thai buffet is served each evening in the camp’s central open air restaurant, where guests also have the chance to participate in cookery demonstrations with the resident chefs and enjoy traditional Thai dancing. Tea, coffee and a range of tipples are available from the well-stocked bar.
If you can tear yourself away from the camp’s fabulous palm-fringed swimming pool then you’ll love the Elephant Experience during which you can feed and bathe these gentle giants and swim in the emerald waters of the lake. There are many jungle trails through the rainforest for wildlife spotting, and you can explore the mangrove by kayak down the Sok river. Excursions to traditional local markets and many other places of interest are also available.
Rainforest-dwelling Gibbons will provide your early morning ‘alarm call’.
