This project offers a unique opportunity to gain a basic understanding of the Thai domestic elephant and their relationship with their mahout. You will not only learn how to ride your elephant but also how to care for these intelligent, gentle giants. You'll also have the opportunity to learn about the traditional life of the mahouts and join in with various communal activities.
The Elephant Mahout Project is located approximately 20km south of Pattaya on the eastern gulf of Thailand. The mahouts live with their elephants in a peaceful camp by the sea, offering controlled rides for tourists at various fixed times of the day.
