Calling all Chiang Mai Expats! πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­
We are so excited to host our first-ever Open House exclusively for Expats! To celebrate our amazing local community, we are opening our doors and providing TWO of our signature elephant tours completely FOR FREE.
(Please note: This is an exclusive community event for expats living in Thailand, NOT an event for tourists.)
We are a highly education-focused camp. Whether you join a tour or just want to hang out, we welcome those who would like to learn more about the Karen hilltribe people, our history, and our traditional beliefs pertaining to elephants.
Bring the whole familyβ€”this is a kid-friendly event! πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦
