点评:This was the absolute highlight of our trip!
Eddie is a fantastic guide and clearly adores his elephants Tomato and Papaya.
The day started with meeting the elephants and we then helped prepare their banana snacks. Then we walked with them through the jungle, feeding them bananas as we went.
We walked with Eddie and his family to a local restaurant for a tasty lunch (pad Thai or fried rice) and then in the afternoon we met up with Tomato and Papaya again and walked with them down to the river to watch them bathe and feed on the vegetation.
Everything was done at the elephants pace, they approached us to feed. Nothing was forced and (obviously) no riding etc. Also Eddie only allows small groups (max 10) which is both better for the elephants and feels really personal.
Our daughter spent hours playing in the river with Eddie's daughter - they both had a ball!
We loved it so much we came back for a second day!
Definitely recommend this trip to anyone - Eddie is very quick to respond on WhatsApp.

埃迪是一位非常棒的向导,他显然非常疼爱他的大象番茄和木瓜。
这一天从与大象见面开始,之后我们帮忙准备了它们的香蕉零食。然后我们和它们一起穿过丛林,边走边喂它们香蕉。
我们和埃迪一家人一起去了一家当地餐馆享用美味的午餐(泰式炒河粉或炒饭)。下午,我们再次与番茄和木瓜会合,和它们一起走到河边,观看它们洗澡和吃水草。
一切都按照大象的节奏进行,它们会主动靠近我们喂食。没有任何强迫行为,当然也没有骑乘之类的活动。此外,埃迪只接待小团(最多10人),这对大象来说更好,也让我们感觉更加亲切。
我们的女儿和埃迪的女儿在河里玩了好几个小时——她们都玩得非常开心!
我们太喜欢这里了,所以第二天又来了!
强烈推荐这次旅行——Eddie在WhatsApp上回复非常迅速。
