Chiang
Dao Elephant Camp
Chiang Dao is a town situated north of Chiang Mai, famous for its Elephant Camp and Elephant show. You arrive at the camp after a drive along picturesque routes - winding around the bends of the road high above the Mae (River) Ping.
The 40 minute show begins with a majestic procession of elephants marching
up the Mae (River) Ping. Then it is bath time - with much splashing and trumpeting.
Later, the elephants demonstrate how they move large teak logs as if they
were matchsticks, a skill employed for more than a century in the teak
forests of the North.
(Elephant-Back
Amble Around)
After the show, you have the option of taking a one hour elephant
ride. Perched high in a wooden howdah, you gain an impressive view of the
forest and an unforgettable experience.

(**)Transportation by air-con. car
Rafting
Down the Mae (River) Ping
Next on your programme at the Camp is an exciting bamboo raft ride down
the Mae Ping to Tha Rua. Your raft can hold up to four persons and the
boatman who paddles and steers the craft on a 45 minute journey through
lush tropical vegetation and, quite appropriately, large stands of elephant
grass.
Chiang Dao
Caves
Returning to the highway you can continue your tour to Chiang Dao and its
famous caves. These sacred caves are filled with Buddha images and deep
recesses that must be explored with the aid of oil lanterns carried
by the local guides.
The caves consist of a series of rooms reached by climbing stairs
and, in one instance, a ladder through a narrow passage. The caverns extend
for more than 10 kms but you need not explore beyond the Reclining Buddha
which lies only a 15 minute walk away.
Entrance to the Chiang Dao Caves.
