Take a scenic journey into the Thai countryside and discover one of Thailand’s leading conservation initiatives. Spend time exploring the park and learning about the important work of the Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) while observing a variety of rescued animals. In addition to elephants, you will encounter many other species—such as monkeys, tigers, and bears—that were previously kept as pets or rescued from petting zoos.
Depart from Bangkok and drive south for approximately 2.30 hours to Phetchaburi, heading towards Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT). As a NGO, WFFT is a foundation and project with the main aim of supporting better living for rescued animals, letting them live freely in the forest. WFFT takes animals who have been maltreated or have been rescued from miserable situations and re-homes them at the park to give the animals a chance to thrive again and lead a better life. The park’s overall objective is to rehabilitate the animals to release them into the wild.
Upon arrival at the park, you will be warmly welcomed at the “I-Love-Phants Lodge” or elephant glamping site, and be briefed about the project and today’s activities.
First off at Pailin elephant closure, talk and discuss about elephants in Thai culture and how elephants have been misused for work and in the tourism industry, and how they have been rescued. Following the talk, enjoy lunch at the lodge or the camp. Lunch is served in a buffet style with Thai favorites and vegetarian options, along with fresh seasonal fruits.
After lunch, there will be an afternoon encounter with wildlife of many kinds like Orangutans, Elephants, Stump-Tailed Macaques, Jackals, Siamang, Gibbons, Monkeys, and Bears.
