Thailand: Rain

Update from our Elephant conservation volunteer holiday Thailand

After a lengthy journey from Barcelona via Chiang Mai I arrived. As we drove to Naklang the temperature eased off, which was a relief from the heat of the city. I was excited to see the new baby elephant in the jungle, and equally as excited to meet Kerry and Sombat’s baby boy Ollie, who was a mere bump in her belly last year when I was last out here. 

For the next couple of days, we will be concentrating on getting everything set up for the team’s arrival. Jazmin will be meeting you at the Mecure hotel at 08:00 on Monday. 

If you are planning to buy a local SIM card while you are in country, the one that currently works in this area is ‘TrueMove’. And there are packages available that last for 15 days that cost THB 699. 

At the moment we are right in the middle of some very unseasonal rain, so please make sure that you have suitable clothing for very wet weather. 

We are looking forward to seeing you on Monday.
