No, at this stage we dont have the faclities for that.

Yes. Please refere to accommodation section for more information. http://www.elephantstay.com/accommodation.html

Is there internet access?

If you bring a lap top you can access our wireless service otherwise you will need to go into town to an internet café.

Is there a single room rate?

All rates are for twin share. If you dont want to share the only way we can guarantee that will be if you pay for the  2 person rate.

If I book for two/three weeks, can I go on other overnight tours/visits during that time?

As the program asks you to look after your elephant on a day-to-day basis, we recommend you book other visits/tours before or after your stay. However if you do go on a tour during your stay here, the cost remains the same. You can take a tour into town for the morning or afternoon and we can organise that when you are here.

Can you recommend any hotels in Bangkok or Ayutthaya?

For Bangkok, we recommend you check the internet or one of the various travel guides for Thailand to locate a hotel to suit your needs/budget. Also there are many travel websites with reviews and recommendations by people who have stayed there.

For Ayutthaya, we recommend the guest house Tony’s Place or, for a centrally located hotel, the Ayothaya Hotel. Again we would recommend you to try the web as these may not be the type of accommodation you would prefer.

What else is there to do in Thailand?

We suggest you check the internet or travel guides or travel guides for Thailand.

Yes

No, the program begins at 9.30am on the first day when we do a welcome induction.

Can I book a room only ie: not take part in the elephant program?

Yes, however the rates would be the same.

How much time do I get to spend with my elephant?

As much as you like

Can I play with the baby elephants?
