Koh Phangan Elephant Trekking Tours
Trekkings are booked daily from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm including Sundays. To ride the elephants you sit in a type of saddle or gondola that is mounted
on their backs. The mahout rides on the elephant's neck and uses leg pressure and a thotti, a special implement to guide the elephant. The half hour trek winds
up the mountain through the palms and once on top of the mountain there is a wonderful view of Baan Thapong bay, the Chinese temple and the mountains and valleys
of Koh Phangan; a great photo opportunity.
Remember! Never approach the elephants without the mahout's supervision, because afterall, while friendly, elephants are still wild animals.
Please use caution and common sense.
Yearly check-up from a government appointed veterinarian:
