Get Back To Nature With The St. Regis Bangkok’s Elephants World Sanctuary Aficionado Package
During a full day visit, guests are given the rare chance to offer a helping hand at Kanchanaburi's Elephants World; to feed, bathe and tend to injured elephants. At the end of the day guests return to Bangkok to a sumptuous Grand Deluxe Room with full breakfast each morning for two.

In the morning guests will be whisked away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, to the lush Kanchanaburi province where they will find the Elephants World rehabilitation sanctuary. Once guests have arrived they will be welcomed, before meeting and feeding the younger elephants, and watch how the elephants bathe. Then it is time to make the elephant's lunch, cleaning fruit, vegetables and preparing sticky rice, before the human visitors sit down for their meal. Gathering and planting food is next on the agenda, before the special sticky rice balls are fed to the elephants ahead of their river baths, where guests will scrub and bathe their new friends (and feed them the yellow bananas they are recommended to bring to help make some new friends).

St. Regis Bangkok

After a day of elephant tending, guests will be transferred back to the St. Regis Bangkok. Whether guests want their own bathe and scrub in the Elemis Spa, to feed themselves in one of the six exceptional restaurants, water themselves with a famous St. Regis Bloody Mary at the bar or just recline and let the St. Regis Butlers cater to their every need, they will feel just as pampered as their new jumbo acquaintances.

Elephants World sanctuary was founded in 2008 for elderly, ill and abused elephants that have been rescued from a life of misery and mistreatment. St. Regis' Aficionado experience gives guests the chance to help the animals that live there, where they can roam in a natural environment for the rest of their lives. St. Regis Hotels & Resorts signature Aficionado program offers exclusive experiences and unprecedented access to some of the world's most interesting and alluring attractions and events. Guests of the St. Regis Bangkok can gain access to a once-in-a-lifetime cultural experience, paired with a luxurious stay at the best address in the city.
