Beppe – Belgium

If you want to support ethical elephant tourism this is the place to be. Very good explanation as to why and how elephants have been mistreated in Thailand because of logging and overtourism. No elephant rides, no bathing with the elephants. You can tell they’re being taken care of. We start the day with an informational video whereafter we go meet the first elephants. You get to watch them up close but can’t touch them (as it should be). After this you get to prepare a meal for them and watch all the elephants feast on it. Really good experience. Would definitely recommend.

It was eye opening preparing the food for the elephants, having dealt with health and safety. Our guide was knowledgeable and gave a good tour. It's all about the well being of the elephants they care for and appreciate the work and effort they put in
