A Unique Half-Day Adventure with Nature and Elephants

Embark on a memorable adventure starting with a comfortable ride in our air-conditioned minibus to the charming village of Ban En. From there, switch to a motorboat for a visit to the stunning Tad Sae Waterfall. While the waterfall may dry up during the dry season from February to July/August, the area still offers a unique appeal with its mature trees and serene environment.

Upon arrival, receive a briefing on our kayaks or stand-up paddleboards (SUP) and prepare for an exhilarating paddle downstream along the most picturesque section of the Nam Khan River. Your journey will take you to the exquisite “Chateau Orientale” Resort.

At the resort, you'll be introduced to fascinating facts about elephants and their behavior before meeting our friendly “Elephant Team.” Spend quality time with these magnificent creatures, brushing and bonding with them in a natural and respectful setting.

Afterward, enjoy a delightful lunch in the elegantly decorated, colonial-style “Chateau Orientale” Restaurant.

Finally, our air-conditioned minibus will transport you back to town, ensuring a comfortable return to your hotel or guesthouse.
