The Bush Camp Chiang Mai One-Night Safari

This beautiful spot, which is run by our long-time partners Elephant Hills, introduces you to Thailand’s most famous resident animals (in a hands-off style) and the people that care for them: the mahouts. There are just 10 African safari-style tents here which were built by skilled local crafters. They feature an en-suite bathroom (each with a hot shower) and have exceptional views out over the forest towards the mountains. Between included experiences, you can relax on the terrace of your tent, take a dip in the infinity pool and enjoy meals in the open-air dining pavilion.

Thailand Family Suggested Itinerary

Blend a jungle adventure in the company of elephants with downtime on the beaches of Koh Samui before rounding off with explorations in Bangkok. A deep dive into Thailand’s scenery and culture comes courtesy of private guided tours in Chiang Mai, Koh Samui, and Bangkok, balanced with some (hands-off) time with elephants at The Bush Camp — an extraordinary safari camp. A week on a Koh Samui beach lets everyone find their own version of downtime. This is the kind of family holiday that earns you kudos.
