The highlight of my trip!

August 30, 2018by: Cindy Walker - PortugalProgram: Volunteer at our Northern Thailand Elephant Sanctuary

I had a great time in Thailand and volunteering at the elephant sanctuary was definitely the highlight. It is such a beautiful place to spend time and the elephants have a great natural environment to live in. The elephants come first at the sanctuary which is correct in my view. I have seen other places where the elephants are used in tourism and they are treated badly. I was happy that I found this place after lots of research. Def recommend this one if you want to help out at a real elephant sanctuary.
