http://lux.acquisition-intl.com/ 52 LUX - Hotel & Spa Awards 2016 Elephant Hills Luxury Tented Camps Combining the camp idea of African National Parks with the Thai tropical forest environment is no enviable task, but Elephant Hills has risen to the challenge. The challenging environment has yielded itself to luxurious comforts, and the owners display their passion by encouraging prospective clients not to worry about monsoon season. “As we are located in the rain forest in Thailand’s wettest area, you may experience tropical downpours any day of the year anyway. So what? It’s warm; go dance in the rain! “Outside school holidays you have better chances for easy availability and an even more intimate experience. Nonetheless we recommend booking in advance.” The Elephant Camp boasts enough mod-cons to ease visitors gently into their surroundings, whilst immersing them in an authentic Thai experience. Exemplifying this are the spacious rooms, in which Elephant Hills Luxury Tented Camps Company: Elephant Hills Luxury Tented Camps Email: booking@ elephanthills.com Web Address: www.elephanthills.com Address: 170 Moo 7 Tambon Klong Sok, Panom District, Suratthani 84250 Thailand Phone: +66 7638 1703 HS160024 tiled en-suite bathroom floors integrate tiles with stonework and other locally sourced resources. The bedrooms themselves appear to be hewn from the very earth, with a charming irregularity to their shape contrasting with a polished wooden floor. One of the greatest charms of this remote attraction is the variety of tour packages on offer. We have many set tour packages that cater to clients’ various needs, including an Authentic Soft Adventure Toup for small groups, and the Three Day Jungle Safari for families with children under the age of seven. Several of these packages afford visitors the chance to spend one night in the floating Rainforest Camp, where solid roofs give way to superbly-kept luxury tents. Their best-selling tour category, very much the highlight of many a customer’s visit there, is an ethical, international award-winning Elephant Experience. Ethics indeed lie at the very heart of Elephant Hills. While the outside world might seem to sweep nature to one side, here it is embraced, integrated into the environment. The herb garden is maintained by the home-grown fertilizer, made from leftover food and elephant dung. The vast outdoor pools are framed by the dense jungles of Khao Sok National Park, an opportunity not to be passed up on. The resort has been recognized for their diligent work on maintaining a camp that caters to paying customers whilst maintaining safety and health for the elephants. To compliment these comforts, the company offers joint transfers to anyone wishing to journey onwards through Thailand to popular Phuket Island further south, Khao Lak, and even as far as remote Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand. As such, Elephant Hills is a quiet crossroads for any intrepid visitor to Thailand. Elephant Hills Luxury Tented Camps Comprising 35 luxurious, tailor-made tents and situated in the southern Khao Sok National Park, Elephant Hills represents the culmination of a dream, and prides itself as Thailand’s premier Luxu- ry Tented Jungle Camp.
