Kuiburi Community and Elephant Adventure

Join us on a very special trip to Kuiburi National Park in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. Visit a historic former royal palace, meet welcoming communities, and learn about their unique forest conservation efforts while traveling through idyllic countryside. The highlight is a jeep safari into Kuiburi, where you may witness wild elephants roaming freely—a rare and unforgettable sight in Thailand. This 4-day journey also includes Sam Roi Yod National Park and a relaxing stay at a beach resort in Pranburi.

After breakfast, depart from your hotel in Bangkok and transfer to the train station for a scenic journey to Phetchaburi. Upon arrival, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before hopping into a pickup truck to explore the city’s cultural gems. Visit Phra Nakhon Khiri (Khao Wang), a majestic hilltop palace built by King Rama IV, offering panoramic views and a blend of Thai, European, and Chinese architecture.

As the afternoon fades, continue to Kaeng Krachan Dam, where tranquil waters and mountain silhouettes create a breathtaking sunset scene. Then head to Baan Tum Sue Homestay, nestled by the Phetchaburi River. Meet your warm host family, share a home-cooked dinner, and settle in for a night surrounded by nature and community spirit.

Begin your morning with kayaking on the Phetchaburi River, gliding past lush riverbanks and soaking in the serenity of rural Thailand. Then join the villagers in a hands-on conservation activity inspired by the late King Bhumibol’s philosophy: “Grow the forest in our heart first, then grow seeds in the forest.” At this homestay, you’ll craft seed bombs—clay balls filled with native seeds and fertilizer, dried in the sun and launched into the forest by slingshot. It’s playful, purposeful, and deeply symbolic.

After bidding farewell to your hosts, continue south to Kuiburi, arriving around 15:30. Check in to your homestay, then head into Kuiburi National Park with local rangers for a guided jeep safari. This is one of Thailand’s last strongholds for wild elephants, and sightings are frequent and awe-inspiring. Watch these majestic creatures roam freely through regenerating forest—a rare and unforgettable experience.

As dusk falls, leave the park and visit a nearby pineapple plantation, where local farmers share stories of coexistence with elephants. Learn how crop selection and community-led conservation have helped reduce conflict and foster harmony between humans and wildlife. Enjoy a rustic dinner with your hosts before returning to your homestay for overnight stay.

After breakfast, take a leisurely village tour to learn about the rhythms of local life—farming, crafts, and community-led conservation. Then set off for Sam Roi Yod National Park, famed for its dramatic limestone peaks and coastal wetlands.

Upon arrival, hike to one of the park’s scenic viewpoints—such as Khao Daeng Viewpoint or the iconic Phraya Nakhon Cave, where a hidden royal pavilion glows in shafts of sunlight. The climb is steep but rewarding, offering sweeping views of the Gulf of Thailand and the park’s lush interior.

Continue to Pranburi, arriving at your beachside resort by lunchtime. The afternoon is yours to unwind—swim, stroll the quiet shoreline, or simply relax beneath swaying palms.

After breakfast, enjoy a relaxed morning by the beach—swim, stroll, or simply soak in the coastal calm. After lunch, transfer to Hua Hin Railway Station, a charming colonial-era landmark, for your train journey back to Bangkok. Arrive in the capital by late afternoon.
