Elephant Freedom Village的点评
点评：The Elephant Freedom Village is truly an amazing experience not to be missed! It was the third Thailand elephant excursion for one person in our party, and they said the Elephant Freedom Village hands down provided the greatest, most fun, most personal elephant experience out of all of them.
There were five people in our party. We were the only people booked for that afternoon, so we had the elephants to ourselves! The day started with a half-hour orientation about the care and history of elephants in Thailand, and a bit about the Karen Hill Tribe, of which the people who run the Elephant Village are a part. It’s a small tribe of about two thousand people. The family who runs the Village are seventh-generation elephant caretakers.
After orientation, we got to meet the elephants and feed them. We fed them an entire crate of sugar cane. The elephants are trained to open their mouths and let you feed them, or you can hold out food and they will take it from your hands with their trunks. Then, we walked to the top of a hill where we got to feed them some more, and also give them lots of hugs and kisses. The elephants are trained to give you kisses!! It’s truly a delightful experience.
After hugs and kisses and more feeding at the top of the hill, we walked down to the river to bathe the elephants. They actually SANG when they got down to the river, they were so happy! We scrubbed them up good in the water for a good bit, while they rolled around to let us get to all their sides. At the end of the river bath, we took pictures while the trainers had the elephants squirt water on us with their trunks. What FUN!!
It all ended with a Thai meal back at the orientation place, where some very well-behaved dogs were milling about. I missed my own dogs at home so much that I bribed them with some of the rice from my meal.
I was in Thailand for eight days and we went to another city after Chiang Mai, and this was still my favorite part of the entire trip. The caretakers spend day and night with the animals, and the whole place is family-run (not corporate or owned by some investor looking to make a buck) and committed to ethical treatment of the elephants. I cannot recommend this elephant experience enough.

翻译：大象自由村绝对是一次不容错过的奇妙体验！这是我们团队第三次参加泰国大象之旅，他们说大象自由村毫无疑问提供了最棒、最有趣、最个性化的大象体验。
我们团队有五个人。我们是当天下午唯一预订的人，所以我们可以独享大象！当天的活动以半小时的介绍开始，内容是泰国大象的护理和历史，以及一些关于克伦山部落的信息，大象村的经营者就是该部落的一部分。这是一个大约有两千人的小部落。经营村庄的家庭是第七代大象饲养员。
介绍结束后，我们见到了大象并喂它们。我们给它们喂了一整箱甘蔗。大象经过训练可以张开嘴巴让你喂食，或者你可以把食物递给它们，它们会用鼻子从你手中接过食物。然后，我们走到山顶，给大象喂食，还给它们很多拥抱和亲吻。大象受过训练，会给你亲吻！！这真是一次愉快的经历。
在山顶拥抱、亲吻和喂食之后，我们走到河边给大象洗澡。它们下到河边时真的唱歌了，它们太开心了！我们在水中好好地给它们擦了一会儿，而它们则在周围打滚，让我们到它们的各个侧面。在河边洗澡结束时，我们拍照留念，训练员让大象用鼻子向我们喷水。真有趣！！
最后，我们在迎新会现场吃了一顿泰式大餐，那里有几只非常乖巧的狗在四处走动。我太想念家里的狗了，所以我用饭里的一些米饭贿赂了它们。
我在泰国待了八天，离开清迈后我们去了另一座城市，这仍然是我整个旅程中最喜欢的部分。饲养员日夜与动物们在一起，整个地方都是家庭经营的（不是企业或由一些想赚钱的投资者拥有），并致力于以道德的方式对待大象。我强烈推荐这次大象体验。
