A popular activity, Elephant Trekking is one of the ‘must do’ experiences for anyone exploring Koh Phangan - never has the phrase ‘fun for all the family’ rung so true! Even though elephants are not a native species of the island – Phangan elephants come from the cooler north of Thailand – you can find three camps offering elephant trekking here where you can enjoy an elephant ride through the jungle and mountains.
The experience of riding on an elephant is unforgettable as these giant creatures are unbelievably gentle and graceful as they make their way across difficult terrain. If you are travelling to Koh Phangan with your kids, then they are going to love this elephant ride and remember it all their life. |
