OPTIONAL: Half Day Wildlife at WFFT
En route, make a stop at 10:00 at the Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) to participate in a half-day wildlife program. WFFT is a registered foundation under Thai law with the main objectives of rescuing maltreated and/or neglected wild animals, providing sanctuary for sick and disabled animals, educating the public, preventing hunting, and promoting the conservation of natural resources. This half-day program allows you to learn about the rescued creatures living at the rescue center and elephant refuge, and to get up close and personal with elephants in a cruelty-free manner that does not exploit them. Lunch will be served at WFFT.

After breakfast at the resort, head to the Kui Buri community village, where you will experience local sustainable activities and products such as making paper from pineapple, rubber tapping demonstrations, fertilizer-making processes, and crafting wooden products. If you like, you can participate in some of these hands-on activities. Explore the village either on foot or by a local farmer’s truck.
Enjoy a local lunch at the village.
Following lunch, around 14:00, set off for Kui Buri National Park to observe wild animals such as elephants and wild bulls living freely in their natural habitat—no setups, all real experiences. Witness how they live together in nature, and enjoy the sight of them emerging as a herd.
Note:
- Please note that while elephant sightings in Kui Buri National Park are quite common, they are sporadic, and the natural behavior of wildlife can affect the likelihood of sightings.
- Kui Buri National Park only permits guests to visit between 14:00 and 17:00, as it is a conservation area.
- During the hot season (March - April), elephant sightings are less frequent.

After breakfast at the hotel, check out and drive toward Sam Roi Yot National Park. Meaning “Mountain of Three Hundred Peaks,” Sam Roi Yot was Thailand’s first coastal national park and covers an expansive area of wetlands, limestone mountains, and beaches.
Continue to Bang Pu, a thriving fishing village, for a glimpse into the lives of local fishermen. Then board a long-tail boat and head out to sea. Cruise away from the shoreline and enjoy the fabulous views of the ocean and coast. (Note: The boat trip may be cancelled if sea conditions are unfavorable.)
After a short scenic boat ride, the boat will dock at a beautiful stretch of beach. Walk to the nearby entrance of Phraya Nakhon Cave, where a longer 430-metre trek awaits. Although called a “cave,” Phraya Nakhon is actually a sunlit cavern formed by two sinkholes. Travel deeper into the cavern, enjoying the surreal landscapes before reaching its center. Be amazed by this enormous limestone cave, where a surprising sight awaits to wow you. (Note: The recommended time to visit is before 11:00.)
Return to the pier for a delicious lunch. Afterward, drive back to Bangkok, arriving in the evening.
Notes:
- If conditions or availability do not allow for a boat transfer to Laem Sala Beach, visitors will need to walk an 880m trail to reach the beach, where the climb to the cave begins. The terrain is rocky and good walking shoes are recommended.
- This programme is not recommended during the rainy season, as conditions may be unfavourable on some days.
- This programme includes uphill hiking and requires a minimum level of physical fitness. It is not recommended for travellers with physical limitations.
- The hike takes approx. 45 min - 1.15 hrs per way, depending on individual fitness level. Please ensure you bring enough water for the duration of the hike.
