"We chose the TECC due to the fact that it is much more humane than many of the other animal activities in Thailand (Tiger Kingdom and nearly every other elephant involved activity). It proved to be just that. The elephants were treated very well and seemed to be very happy. We did the 2 day elephant..." trekking experience. It was an incredibly fun and up close experience. The second day we woke up early to go out into the jungle to collect our elephant and the elephants seemed very happy to see us. It was very beautiful and I can only imagine what it would be like not in the dry season! It's a little bit more pricey than most, but well worth it. Our experience was only amplified by our fantastic guide/cook/translator, Mango. He is truly a special young kid and such a pleasure to be with during our two days. Would not have been as enjoyable without him.

If you don't mind spending a lot extra to have someone hold your hand all the way to the door, you could hire a driver.
