Ethical Elephant Sanctuary
Observation and feeding. No riding, no bathing, no bullhooks.
There is a lot of marketing around elephants in Thailand and not much of it survives contact with the details.

It is quieter than the alternatives and it is the right way to do it.

I had been struggling to find a company that could create a customized private…”
