Elephant sanctuary with swimming and Thai cooking lesson, English speaking guide

A small group travels to a reserve where elephants live in their natural environment: a walk through the forest, swimming with the animals and a short lesson in Thai cooking. You will be transported from the hotel by air-conditioned car. At the nursery they talk about elephants and caring for them, then a guide leads through the forest to their resting place. First you can watch the elephants eat bananas and sugar cane, then everyone goes down the slope to the lake and swims next to them. After swimming, time for photos and changing clothes, then a master class where you cook one Thai dish, and lunch with seasonal fruits. About 3 hours, mini-group up to 10 people, guide speaks English. Includes transfer (shared or private), lunch and cooking lesson.
