Climb to Elephant Watching Tree House

Wild Asian Elephants Crossing Road

Spend the Night in an Elephant Watching Tree House in the Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary.

This is one of the best opportunities for wild elephant trekking in Thailand. The safest way of seeing the elephants in their natural environment is from the Tree-House close to Klong Kwan Ranger Station. Elephants come here regularly to eat vital minerals found in the soil and consume the vegetation.

They are mostly active in the evenings and at night, so it is recommended that you stay in the Tree-House overnight to have the best chance of spotting them. A guide will take you there and back.

The tree house is large enough to sleep up to 3 people and is truly a “tree house” so be prepared to “rough it” a little. It is only a short trek from the Klong Kwan Ranger Station. Sleeping bags, food and water can be provided at a reasonable price.
