TraileR: Elephant experiences in thailand

LOCATION: THAILAND

Elephants have been an intrinsic part of the history and culture of Thailand for thousands of years. As one of the most popular activities for tourists in Thailand, travelers should seek ethical elephant experiences that support the health and welfare of these majestic animals. Thailand is working to improve current and future standards with education and a dedicated network of elephant camps, mahouts (elephant caretakers), animal welfare specialists, and villages reliant on elephant tourism who are committed to providing healthier, sustainable environments where elephants can thrive.

Tourism remains a vital source of income to support these efforts, and traveler’s choices can directly impact elephant welfare and the future of sustainable elephant tourism. Connecting with an elephant in Thailand can be a transformative experience. Let it be a positive one for the elephants, too.
