Other elephant camps regularly put seats on elephants’ backs before letting tourists ride on. But, basically, at Thom Phai Elephant Camp, there aren’t any seats on elephants’ back. Tourists just have to ride on elephants’ bare backs.

Each of elephants contains 2-3 tourists, one on the elephant’s neck and two on the elephant’s back. It requires only 400 Bah per person. However, if you want a seat on an elephant’s back, that’s fine. You just have to pay more money for it.

It takes about 1 hour to 3 hours for a ride. The route starts from the front side of the elephant camp. Then you pass the corn field and the soybean field.

Beside riding on these elephants, there are still many other activities. You can bathe these elephants. You can play with them in water. You can feed them with bananas. You can let an elephant carry you. These elephants are smart and well-trained. They would be your good friends.
