Ethical Elephant Sanctuary: Bamboo Rafting & Sticky Waterfall
Overview
Start your journey in the lush countryside of Mae Taeng, where you’ll meet rescued elephants in a no riding, no chains environment. Learn about their stories, feed them, and walk alongside them in a respectful and meaningful way. Enjoy a fun mud spa and bathing session in the river — a true highlight of the day.
Continue your adventure with a bamboo rafting experience, gently floating along a scenic jungle river surrounded by mountains.
End your day at the famous Sticky Waterfall (Bua Tong Waterfall), where you can climb up natural limestone rocks with ease — a unique and fun experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Perfect for travelers who want to combine wildlife, culture, and adventure in one trip.
