The resort is located some 70 km from Chiang Rai airport, and you can start the adventure from the very beginning with unique transfer called ‘heli and ele’, which include a helicopter flight to the river Mekong, where on the bank awaits the trusty elephant, ready for a ride to the resort through breathtaking hilltop scenery. You may also be picked from farther Chang Mai airport.
If you miss the elephant transfer, you can still do the jungle trekking by elephant, or watch directly from your room these enormous animals moving in a distance. The birds singing on the river banks make the staying here even more pleasant.
