As I talked about in my blog about the Golden Triangle, we stayed at the small luxury resort, Anantara Golden Triangle. I should start by saying that this kind of place is TOTALLY out of my normal budget, but that due to some crafty maneuvering in a silent auction I managed to get 2 nights here and …

I'm sure you've seen an elephant at the zoo or a circus, so you might think that an elephant camp is much of the same stuff. But you'd be wrong. The Maesa Elephant Camp is something entirely different. The Maesa Elephant Camp allows you to get up close and personal view of the day to day lives of th…

Visitors can get really close and personal with elephants as well as having a ride on them.
Another test of endurance is crossing a bamboo suspension bridge that is approximately 500 metres in length.
Visitors can interact with the local indigenous peoples by becoming a member of a Gong Band a…

It is an amazing experience, for 2500 baht it is posssible to v…

There are many elephant camps in Thailand, especially in the north around Chiang Mai. Many are no more than glorified circuses and petting zoos. The government sanctioned Lampang Thai Elephant Conservation Center is a refreshing exception to this trend. The center is set in the verdant jungle at Km.…

One of the great things about living in Chiang Mai is the road trips. There are a ton of short trips in all directions from Chiang Mai. I'm steadily working my way through the list. For my boyfriend's birthday we decided to head north. Our first stop was Chiang Dao, about an hour to an hour and a ha…

"Tranquility is the name of the game". That's how this location is described on the lodge's web site and it certainly suits the place really well. Okay well occasionally, during the dry season a herd of desert elephants may come and disrupt the tranquility but then what a show!

Twyfelfontein Lodge is located north of the Brandberg Mountains. It is along an itinerary often used by tours to go from Swakopmund to Etosha Game Reserve so it can be very busy during peak season. I was there in early March and was able to stay even without an advance booking.
Be warned that the…

In keeping with its…

The elephant camps in Thailand are one of the most common destinations of tourists to Chiang Mai. Formerly based on logging camps where elephants were used as heavy machinery, these camps are now just large petting zoos featuring only the Asian Elephant. Fortunately, conditions seem good for the ele…
