We loved our day with the the elephants, it was so wonderful to see these creatures moving about and they were so gentle with us.
Great way to learn about Karen culture and elephants sanctuary.
Most of the elephants in Thailand are owned by Karen villagers and rented by tourist camps.
Karen villagers, in the past, didn’t really have a choice of which type of camp to put their elephants in because they were all the same.
We give those villagers the choice of pulling their elephants out of bad camps and placing them with us instead.
Surely, Elephants are being taken care of properly and can live more natural lifestyles.
