They're a symbol of the country, so a visit to an elephant sanctuary is a must on your trip to Thailand. In this two-hour experience, you'll learn about the history of these gentle giants and understand how conservation projects are supporting elephants born in captivity to live as closely as possible to how they live in the wild.

The way to an elephant's heart is through its belly, so you'll get hands-on and prepare some of their favourite snacks. Then, you'll help with feeding time as you respectfully bond with the animals on their terms.

Walking by their sides as the elephants head to the river is a real pinch me moment, so make sure you have your camera at the ready. Finally, you'll get to see them at their most playful as they wallow in the water and take a mud bath.
