As a volunteer of The Ayothaya Elephant Village Sanctuary Program you will be staying at The Pang Chang Camp with the mahouts and their families .We can find a local guesthouse for you if you prefer.
By staying at the camp you will be completely immersed- and welcomed into the mahout way of life and there community .You will live with the mahouts and their families in the same type of housing as them (no air conditioning ,but cool) eat with them ,and get to know them and their families. Truly a magical experience.
The accommodation is very basic ,there is no hot water ,but its not cold,
Taking a shower means pouring a bowl of water over your head ! You will stay in a bamboo and pineapple leaf house, sleeping on a mattress on the floor. All houses have electricity and fans and you can charge your phones etc .
Toilet facilities are at the camp, they are modern western type and kept clean but remember to bring toilet tissue.
