Lunch will be provided at the Camp. After lunch, enjoy the peaceful scenery ride on the Bamboo Raft along Mae-Taeng River for an hour. There are lychee plantations, logan plantations and other tropical fruit orchards to view.


Note:
As the national animal of Thailand, the elephant has a very special place in Thai folklore. In fact, Thailand has been associated with elephants for hundreds of years. The national flag was previously a white elephant on a red background and elephatns - in particular white ones, were an essential part of royal panoply. Unfortunately, there are very few elephants left in the wild anymore and their very existence is thought to be in considerable danger. Nowadays, elephants are mainly used as tourist attractions in camps and shows up and down the country.
