点评:This was the most beautiful day of my life! The day was perfectly organized, from calmly making contact with the elephants, to learning about their past, observing their behavior, and so much more. You could ask anything because the tour guide was incredibly kind. He took all the time for you. He clearly explained that the elephants decide how the day goes and what kind of interaction is possible.
Beforehand, we researched which sanctuary is truly animal-friendly and not commercial. This one absolutely is – 100%! The people work incredibly hard, have deep respect for the elephants, and you can truly feel and see the love they have for them.
We were allowed to cool them down with cold water, chop down banana trees and transport them to the sanctuary so the elephants could eat again. Many elephants are also sick and need medicine, which you can help prepare. In between, you can join a cooking class and make your own Pad Thai, which was delicious!
To finish off, you get in the car and go to a beautiful waterfall to cool down. We gave the tour guide a generous tip as a thank you – he recorded several videos and photos and did everything with so much love.
The 4 hours you book are more than worth it, because in the end we spent 5 hours there, as we were really given the time to enjoy this wonderful place and the elephants.
翻译:这是我一生中最美好的一天!这一天安排得非常完美,从与大象静静接触,到了解它们的过去、观察它们的行为等等,应有尽有。你可以问任何问题,因为导游非常友善。他为你安排了所有时间。他清楚地解释说,大象决定了这一天的安排以及可以进行哪些互动。
事先,我们研究了哪个保护区真正对动物友好,并且不进行商业活动。这个绝对是——100%!这里的人们非常努力,对大象怀有深深的敬意,你可以真切地感受到他们对大象的爱。
我们被允许用冷水给大象降温,砍倒香蕉树并将它们运回保护区,以便大象可以再次进食。许多大象也生病了,需要药物,你可以帮忙准备。在此期间,你可以参加烹饪课,自己做泰式炒河粉,味道好极了!
最后,你可以开车去一个美丽的瀑布边乘凉。我们给了导游丰厚的小费以表感谢——他拍摄了不少视频和照片,每一步都倾注了满满的爱。
预订的4个小时绝对物超所值,因为我们最终在那里待了5个小时,真正地享受了这个美妙的地方和大象。
