Incredible place, incredible people and a truly ethical experience.
Boon Lott's Elephant Sanctuary的点评
点评:This was my second trip to BLES. Both visits were amazing. This is a truly ethical elephant experience where the elephants welfare comes first. You get to watch them, their behaviours and interactions without human intervention and what an amazing experience it is to watch an elephant graze, or climb a hill, swim in a pool, take a mud bath or dust bath or even have a good scratch on a tree. And every action an elephant makes is because they want to do it and not because they are made to do it for tourists. Katherine is so knowledgeable and will share the stories of every elephant in her care. Some elephants need specialist care and you get to observe this treatment each morning as well as making rice ball treats for the elephants. The food that is provided (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is exceptional! Her cooks do an amazing job at providing delicious food each day. And honestly there isn't much out there that will beat eating traditional Thai food in the backdrop of lush green forests with elephants surrounding you. You also get to go out with the mahoots to cut corn for the elephants. As well as this Katherine will welcome you into her family and take you to visit the local market with her children.
翻译:这是我第二次前往BLES。两次体验都棒极了。这里确实是一个以大象福利为首要考虑的、符合伦理规范的大象保护区。在这里,你可以观察大象们的行为与互动,而无需任何人为干预。看着大象吃草、爬上小山、在泳池里游泳、泡泥浴或沙浴,甚至在树上挠痒痒,真是一种无与伦比的体验啊。每一只大象的每一个动作都是出于它们自己的意愿,而并非为了迎合游客。凯瑟琳学识渊博,会讲述她所照顾的每一只大象的故事。有些大象需要特殊的照料,每天早晨你都能亲眼目睹这些护理过程;此外,你还可以亲手为大象制作米团作为零食。提供的餐食(早餐、午餐和晚餐)也极其美味!她的厨师们每天都能烹制出令人垂涎的佳肴。说实话,很难找到比在郁郁葱葱的森林中、在大象的环绕下享用正宗泰式美食更美妙的体验了。你还可以和驯象师一起去为大象割玉米。此外,凯瑟琳会热情地把你当作家人对待,还会带着她和孩子们一起去当地的集市参观。
