Elephant Experiences
During the last years the attitude towards elephant riding has changed and now most of the camps organising animal friendly feed/bath/play programs. Yet it has to be remembered, that the relationship to animals in Asia is a different one, compared to western countries and in former times elephants were used as working animals and even served in the Thai Army.
For a good and ethically positive experience we can recommend the following camps:
