Amazing way to experience closeness to elephants in a respectful way. You can tell the elephants are free to do what they feel at the moment. You are free to choose whether to bathe with them or not. Finished the day with a big thai lunch. Definitely exceeded expectations

Das Erlebnis war super schön, unser Guide war top und das Mittagessen war sehr lecker, außerdem wurden wir mit leckeren Getrönken versorgt. Die Elefanten werden sehr gut behandelt und haben eine innige Verbindung zu ihren Menschen. Das kann man spüren. Das einzige, was uns nicht so gut gefallen hat war, dass man die Elefanten schrubben und mit ihnen baden durfte. Wir haben uns vorher viel informiert und sind uns nicht sicher, ob das so ethisch ist. Alles in allem aber top ☺️
