EXPERIENCE THE BUSH CAMP
CHIANG MAI
Luxury Tents Overlooking The Ping River
The Bush Camp Chiang Mai
The Bush Camp Chiang Mai is located on the Ping river with stunning views overlooking lush vegetation and misty mountains, typical of Northern Thailand.
Located approximately 2 hours from Chiang Mai airport, we will ensure a smooth transfer to our camp, included in the tour package and operated by us. Our mini-van fleet features comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles with friendly drivers looking after you during your drive.
Why The Bush Camp Chiang Mai?
The Bush Camp is tailormade, luxury tents, resembling African safari accommodation – all built by highly skilled local artisans prioritizing sustainability and supporting the local community.
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Chiang Mai, you will be able to experience local life close to nature without missing out on the luxuries of an excellently equipped glamping tent with a hot and cold shower, electricity, Wi-Fi and a magnificent view from your spacious balcony.
During the day, you will have the unique opportunity to join our sustainable activities including our popular chain-free, hands-off elephant experience taking place at the on-site Elephant Park.
The area around our Camp is a natural, unique and prime habitat for myriad birds including green peafowl. This combined with the view of Chedi’s, temples and stunning mountain scenery will take you back to the times of ancient Chiang Mai.
More details info on our tour package can be found here.
To relax from all your adventures during the daytime, we invite you to hop into our infinity pool in the afternoon and enjoy a refreshing drink. From the pool you can admire the views over the magnificent Ping River and the Chedi’s nestled in the lush green mountains, glistening in the sunset.
At nighttime, you can join a delicious dinner, offering local and Western cuisine in our open-air restaurant adjacent to the pool.
All meals, accommodation, activities, and transport are included in our unique package.
We can’t wait to show you what Northern Thailand has to offer and we are looking forward to welcoming you soon!

Wonderful Experience
A wonderful relaxing place where the staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We couldn’t get into the ‘Elephant Hills’ so booked this instead. So glad we did.
Our “tents” were spacious, comfortable, included a fridge, air-con, WiFi. You wouldn’t really think you were in a tent, apart from in the morning when the birdsong is vast.
Activities, everything is organised for you, there are several demonstrations, e.g. making curry, clothing, coffee/tea, paper from elephant poo, but they don’t detract from the main event. There’s plenty of time with the elephants, feeding them, watching them bath and preparing food for them.
Loved how calm and social this place is.

Amazing experience, highly recommend.
Fabulous stay at the Bush Camp. The experience is so well organised. From the moment we were picked up at the airport, to the moment we were dropped off, we felt so well looked after. Activities were brilliant, well organised and great fun, with some time to relax by the fabulous pool, which overlooks the beautiful Ping River. Lots of time to interact with the elephants, who all looked so well looked after and happy. Food is fabulous. Buffet style, but really good quality. Excellent cocktails too, with a rather wonderful ‘happy hour’ between 530 and 630, where they also served some peanuts and chicken satay. The tents are very luxurious, beautiful. Special thanks to Fah who looked after us so well.

We went on a 3 day/2night trip and had a fabulous time. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. It is a lovely quiet place and when we were there there only about 20 visitors in total. As a couple in our 70’s we were unable to do a lot of walking that wasn’t a problem as we were driv en to see the elephants both days. They provided the transfer to the airport and to our surprise supplied us with packed lunches. All the staff spoke perfect english and would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see elephants as naturally as possible.

Great Experience at The Bush Camp
We loved the Bush Camp in Chiang Mai. The “tents” were very luxurious and comfortable and had double sinks, shower and toilet right inside the tent. Our tent was about a 5 minute walk from the lodge but if you didn’t want to walk it they had shuttles constantly running. The food selection was great and very delicious. The view from the lodge/pool area was spectacular! Shirley was our guide and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. The elephant experience was excellent. It was a once in a lifetime experience and we were able to prepare their food and feed the elephants. The mahout caregivers of the elephants were there to ensure our safety and safety of the elephants. The elephants are very well cared for. There is a wooden fence that they stayed behind but we were able to get fairly close to them, feed them and touch their trunks! We loved this place and highly recommend.
