WHERE DOES THE TOUR START AND FINISH?
The Chiang Mai Elephant Experience starts and ends in Chiang Mai.
Airport transfers are not included so you will need to make your own way to the first hotel.
WHO WILL I BE TRAVELLING WITH?
The Chiang Mai Elephant Experience is not a group tour. The Elephant Sanctuary is very social and you are bound to have opportunities to meet other travellers on this experience. The tour is generally booked by singles or couples.
DO I NEED VACCINATIONS?
We recommend making an appointment with your GP to discuss which vaccinations will be needed for your trip.
The Hepatitis A vaccine is strongly recommended. Rabies pre-exposure vaccination may be an option, but not essential.
Malaria isn’t common in the areas we visit, but stock up on bug spray in Bangkok as there are other diseases such as Dengue that are more common.
We recommend organising all vaccines at least 4-6 weeks before your trip to Thailand.
CAN I BOOK EXTRA NIGHTS?
If you need additional nights before or after your trip, just add them to your booking when you checkout.
Not sure if you need extra nights? Get in touch to chat with a member of the crew before or after you book
CAN YOU HELP ME ORGANISE FLIGHTS & INSURANCE?
DO I NEED A VISA?
In some cases, yes, and the process is very easy!
Citizens of 41 different nationalities, including Australia, NZ, UK, USA and most of Europe, can enter Thailand without a pre-arranged visa. This ‘visa exemption’ allows you to stay 30 days when entering Thailand by air, and 15 days when crossing into Thailand by land.
It's worth noting that without proof of an onward ticket and sufficient funds for your expected stay any visitor can be denied entry. For more information about 60-Day Tourist Visas, Visa Extensions and Visa Runs check out our Thailand visa info here.
WHAT AIRPORT DO I FLY IN AND OUT OF?
This Elephant Sanctuary Experience starts in Chaing Mai.
You should fly into and out of Chiang Mai International Airport (Airport Code: CNX)
CAN I BOOK THIS WITH MY ULTIMATE THAILAND TOUR?
Absolutely. Most customers will book this Elephant Experience before or after their Ultimate Thailand group tour. Speak to our travel crew if you need help planning your itinerary.
