        The Institute offers a homestay program in our mahout village and welcomes tourists who are interested in studying and experiencing the life of a mahout and his elephant. Tourists will stay at the same house as the mahout, share in the mahout's life and join in various communal activities. In the morning, they will go into the woods to bring their elephant out, then practice basic riding and giving commands to the elephant and exchange experiences with English-speaking staff who are familiar with elephants and mahouts. In the evening, visitors will return the elephant to the woods. Participants will also cook local foods, dine Khan Tok style and listen to local music played by mahouts.

 
     
 

    Homestay facilities are also open to tourists who do not wish to participate in the homestay program, but want to stay overnight there only.
