Elephant Hills

Elephant Hills are Thailand’s first Luxury Tented Jungle Camps, combining the camp idea of African national parks with the Thai tropical forest environment – its glamping really! The two camps, The Elephant Camp and the floating Rainforest Camp, are both situated in Khao Sok, part of Southern Thailand’s largest stretch of primary rainforest.

Despite being tucked away in the rainforest, the camps are easily accessible from popular beach destinations like Phuket, Khao Lak, Khanom, Krabi and even Koh Samui. And the best thing: transfers to and frpm these destinations are included in the package price to make your stay as accommodating and hassle-free as possible. The staff can’t wait to welcome you to the jungle!
