Up close and personal with elephants. WOW!
WOW! EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME. Elephant Jungle Sanctuary has 4 sites around Thailand. At this site, they have rescued 6 adult elephants from logging and the entertainment industry. Each elephant has their own caretaker and the love/respect they show these animals is impressive. We did the half day experience. Got to feed the elephants lots of watermelon. Then we gave them a mud bath. Bring a swimsuit so you can get in the mud, swimming hole and showers with the elephants. Bring dry clothes. The shower/bathroom facilities are very clean. Getting right up to the elephants without bars or fences was unbelievable. They are such magnificent, gentle creatures. Kevin and Eddie were warm, friendly and so personable. Great instruction on how to interact with the elephants. They took lots of photos/videos with our cameras. They also took beautiful photos you can download from Facebook. Lunch was also delicious. You would think this was just an afterthought. Not here. Tasty pad Thai chicken, Tom Yum Gai (chicken soup with coconut milk) and sweet/sour chicken. Highly recommend for anyone who loves animals and wants to experience elephants up close and personal.
