The Elephant Nature Park is a unique sanctuary for abused elephants. Here, rescued elephants have the opportunity to roam freely, develop natural social networks, receive medical care and just enjoy being elephants. We will spend an unforgettable day (during the Northern Thailand - Adventures in Healing Journey) at the Elephant Nature Park learning about, feeding, and bathing the elephants, and simply watching them play.

 Jungle Yoga - Dick and Beth (and the hornbills, cicadas and gibbons) are our hosts at one of the best kept secrets in Thailand – Jungle Yoga. Floating on a pristine, mosquito-free lake, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs; Jungle Yoga’s bamboo village offers us a genuinely unique venue for our DEEP South Journey. Here the sun will teach us openness, the lake will teach us fluidity and the mountains will teach us stability. Our free time will be spent kayaking, swimming or simply swinging in the hammocks – the perfect way to soak up the sights, smells and sounds of the jungle! http://www.jungleyoga.com/
