点评:We visited this elephant today. It’s about an hours drive from central Patong. We all enjoyed the experience with elephants. It seems that the team really look after elephants well at the reserve. A video attached shows a grass grinding machine like a food mixer to churn grass, pineapple, carrots, sugarcane into small pieces for the older clan who have lost their teeth. There was no animal abuse here like seen in some zoos and sanctuaries. Quite the contrary. Visitors are not allowed to touch or directly feed the animals. The staff are very courteous and Weill informed. Our tour guide was called Mike (photo) and knew so much about the elephants. It was raining and we opted for a 90 min tour rather than a full three hour one. We also prepared food for the elephants and offered to them. Overall, a gratifying experience. Both adults and children will love it.
