点评:Visiting this family run Elephant Sanctuary was truly a highlight of my trip to Thailand and Sukhothai. This is a true sanctuary where the elephants wellbeing is prioritised. No touching, no feeding, no bathing. The elephants are allowed to be themselves, having autonomy over where they go, who they spend time with and what they eat. Katherine, the mahouts and her 'family' do an amazing job and this is the ultimate authentic elephant experience. Each day we were picked up from our accommodation and taken to the BLES for the most amazing breakfast. Followed by prepping food and observing the specialist care they needed before venturing out on foot to find a spot for the day. The tastiest lunch arrives by vehicle and guests can continue to observe elephants in their natural environment exhibiting natural behaviours. Dinner was a banquet of deliciousness before being taken back to our accommodation. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend this experience to everyone and anyone....it was that special.
