What a wonderful article. Thanks.
The tourism industry is becoming more ethical and environmentally friendly. Slowly, but at least it’s moving that direction, and it’s largely due to people like you that brings the abuse to our attention.
Glad you had a good time. Great article. 🙂

I visited an elephant sanctuary on the Thailand mainland and I know they no longer do rides, but it was wonderful to spend hours with those amazing creatures. We have so much more in common with them than most people realize.

It’s so sad isn’t it, really shocking to see and hear how such lovely animals have been mistreated. I understand your choices around becoming vegetarian, and think all of us have an obligation to be more educated on animal welfare – I’m glad I researched it and am able to share my learnings 🙂

It was great, and I’m so glad I educated myself a bit more on the elephant tourism industry. It’s so sad what many of these animals have had to ensure

I don’t disagree with you Meg, it’s so upsetting to learn about how these amazing animals can be so mistreated. It was lovely to get up close with them, but not too close and to ensure they still had plenty of space 🙂

I agree Marion, and hope with increased awareness in tourists and the fact that elephant sanctuaries themselves are now becoming profitable, there won’t be a need to run the explotative options instead. Here’s to hoping!

I know, it’s just so upsetting isn’t it. Hehe I loved Kannika, such a character and seemed genuinely happy running about all over the place and playing 🙂
