Chiang Mai is the hub of Northern Thailand and the Capital City of the Province of this name. With a population of over 170,000 in the city proper, it is Thailand's fifth-largest city. Located on a plain at an elevation of 316 m, surrounded by mountains and lush countryside, it is much greener and quieter than the capital, and has a cosmopolitan air and a significant expat population, factors which have led many from Bangkok to settle permanently in this "Rose of the North". Chiang Mai's historical center is the walled city. Sections of the wall remain at the gates and corners, but of the rest only the moat remains. Inside Chiang Mai's remaining city walls are more than 30 temples dating back to the founding of the principality, in a combination of Burmese, Sri Lankan and Lanna Thai styles, decorated with beautiful wood carvings, Naga staircases, leonine and angelic guardians, gilded umbrellas and pagodas laced with gold filigree. The most famous is Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, which overlooks the city from a mountainside 13 km away. Modern-day Chiang Mai has expanded in all directions, but particularly to the east towards the Ping River, Mae Nam Ping, where Chang Klan Rd, the famous Night Bazaar and the bulk of Chiang Mai's hotels and guest houses are located. Loi Kroh Rd is the center of the city's night life.

Day 1: Arrival and Elephant Experiences at The Bush Camp (L, D)
Your adventure begins as you are collected via a joint transfer and driven into the lush hills surrounding Chiang Mai, arriving at The Bush Camp, a tailormade luxury glamping retreat overlooking the scenic Ping River. Settle into your spacious tent before heading out for an immersive Elephant Experience, spending time observing and interacting responsibly with these gentle giants in their natural surroundings. Later, you'll visit a nearby Karen Village to learn about the traditions and daily life of this local hill-tribe community, gaining an authentic glimpse into rural northern Thai culture. As the afternoon fades, unwind at the Sundowner's, sipping drinks as the sun dips behind the Ping River valley. Dinner is served back at camp beneath the stars, rounding out a full first day at The Bush Camp.

Day 2: Morning at Camp and Departure (B)
Wake up to the peaceful sounds of the jungle and enjoy breakfast at The Bush Camp before your final morning activities associated with the tour itinerary. Take one last look over the Ping River from your glamping tent before it's time to pack up. A joint transfer will take you back to Chiang Mai, bringing your two-day Bush Camp Safari to a close with lasting memories of elephants, hill-tribe culture, and luxury glamping in the Thai countryside.
