点评:Group of four friends staying in Khoa Lak Eden Beach Resort.
Short 20 minute trip to the sanctuary which was included in the price.
We were put in a small group of six (including our four) so not crowded at all.
Shown how to make the elephant treats while being given a detailed explanation of the elephants etc. This is done while overseeing the elephants so you get to see them from the start.
You then get to feed the four elephants while the guide continues to talk with you.
A walk with one of the elephants into the surrounding jungle area is followed by watching another bath in the lake area. The visit ended with us hosing down the elephant.
There is no riding, no bathing with the elephants and minimal touching (only while feeding and that really is minimal as the guide is close at hand).
We all felt the elephants were treated well and cared for. It looked like you could book a home stay so that made us think even more that no mis treatment took place as the elephants are in sight of the accommodation.
All in all a great trip that lasted c2 1/2 hours plus transfer (we booked the short option).
If you are planning an elephant trip you can’t go to wrong with this one.
翻译:我们一行四位朋友入住考拉伊甸海滩度假村 (Khoa Lak Eden Beach Resort)。
行程包含20分钟的短途旅行,前往大象保护区。
我们被安排在一个六人小组(包括我们四人),所以一点也不拥挤。
导游向我们展示了如何制作大象零食,并详细讲解了大象的相关知识。整个过程都在观察大象的同时进行,所以从一开始就能看到它们。
之后,我们可以亲自喂食四头大象,导游会继续讲解。
之后,我们跟随其中一头大象漫步到周围的丛林中,然后观看另一头大象在湖边洗澡。最后,我们用水管冲洗了大象,结束了这次参观。
这里不提供骑象、与大象一起洗澡等活动,而且与大象的接触也非常有限(只有在喂食的时候,而且由于导游就在附近,所以接触次数真的很少)。
我们都觉得大象得到了很好的照顾。看起来还可以预订大象寄宿家庭,这让我们更加确信大象没有受到虐待,因为它们就在住宿的视线范围内。总而言之,这是一次非常棒的旅行,全程大约2.5小时,加上接送时间(我们预订的是短途行程)。
如果您计划体验骑象之旅,选择这家绝对不会错。
