Elephants: Elephant safari

  • Favorite Thing: I had mixed feelings about the elephant safari. On one hand I felt a bit sorry for the elephants but on the other hand it was an interesting experience.

    Apparently elephants were used extensively for labour but not that it's not the case anymore, elephants end up transporting tourists and being used for pleasure.

    I guess most of the elephants that are used now were bred in captivity.

     Thailand is on my dream list for many reasons, not the least of which is elephants. At least their owners have a good reason to keep them & take good care of them hopefully!
