Yes, you'll have the chance to bathe the elephants if they choose to enter the water. However, we respect their comfort, and if the weather is too cold, we do not force them to bathe.

The Pha Dok Siew hike is of medium difficulty, making it suitable for those with a basic fitness level. It involves some uneven terrain and gentle slopes but is manageable for most visitors. We recommend this hike for children above 5 years old.
