Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Can I touch or swim with the elephants? Due to our ethical standards, we respect the privacy and natural behavior of the elephants. Therefore, instead of swimming with them, we encourage observing their natural lives via the Canopy Walkway. Controlled feeding is available until March 2026.

  2. Is the walkway safe? Yes, the Canopy Walkway is a high-security structure built according to modern engineering standards, equipped with safety railings, and inspected daily.

  3. What clothes should I wear? We recommend comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and a hat. Since it is inside the jungle, it would be beneficial to have insect repellent with you.

  4. How long does the tour last? Our tour covers a comprehensive experience of approximately 2.5 – 3 hours, excluding transfers.

  5. Is the tour canceled in rainy weather? Thailand’s tropical rains are part of the tour! Unless extreme conditions occur, the tour continues; elephants love getting wet and playing in the mud in the rain, which is one of the most enjoyable moments to watch.
