AContinuing a 5000 yr long working relationship with Chang & that trunk!! What a piece of anatomy!
Elephantstay的点评
点评：WOW WOW WOW. I have followed Elephantstay for a decade from Alice Springs with the intention of going, then came covid, a career change and then TWINS!! Not mine, elephant twins! and I being a fraternal twin, fell deeply.
So before they got too big I decided it was time.
I was a sole Elephantstay visitor and felt fortunate to have a one on one experience with everyone 😁
First days were quiet as I got the feel for my environment, the elephants and being in a foreign country again after a decade.
I rate my stay and experience 11/10. Not only was it firstly - friendly, it was educative and understanding of peoples inexperience and limited understanding, of a culture that has had a working relationship with elephants for 5000 years.
If there was something I saw and didn't like or understand then I was encouraged to ask questions before judging. I did ask questions because I was interested, intrigued and in my element, the element of new experience, which was wonderful, elephantastic infact!
Having travelled to Thailand before and having lived with the Central Australian indigenous population and having friends whose livelihoods involved livestock such as cattle, horses, sheep and camels. I had a foundational understanding of a different culture and working with animals. So I repectfully absorbed what was happening around me.
Having come from a nursing back ground I was very impressed with the level of care and cleanliness that the elephants reside in. Gobsmacked at the amount of food that is required, obtained and supplied. Embracing the unique opportunity to feed the elephants healthy snacks which could be purchased on site.
Watching the day to day activities that go on was interesting. Mahouts readying their mounts to go off to feed, bathe and work. A symbiotic relationship that reflected both getting on harmoniously with their activities of daily living.
Being as close to an elephant as I'd ever been before was a very humbling experience. The sheer size and beauty of this majestic creature. Who was for the most part, like any animal, disinterested in me when I was not the bearer of food 😂.
Jumpee, Yitor, Soy, Honey, Rasamee and (dang, I've forgotten her name, that makes me feel a little deflated) are beautiful creatures and it's difficult not to want to interact with all of them, however there are rules of interaction based on safety of the human and safety of the elephant and having respect for all I was happy to conform.
What wonder humans are Ewa, Michelle and Lexi, who I had the most to do with being that they co ordinate the Elephantstay and programme. The programme is simple, easy and flexible if you want to do something else in Ayutthaya or just have a rest.
I had the good fortune to meet some of the wonderful Thai people who are a part of the Elephant Kraal, it takes a community!! Thanx to Pong my trusted Jumpee mahout, patient, kind and conversive though my Thai speaking skills are virtually non existant.
Do yourself a favour, go and have an elephantstay experience, I highly recommend it and I can't wait to have more elephantstay experiences in the future.
Oh, riding Jumpee, I think it is a very personal experience, and I've raved enough, what an amazing creature, what an experience, there is defo respect and admiration for every elephant, mahout and child that has this relationship. I'm in awe.

翻译：哇，哇，哇。我从爱丽丝泉开始关注 Elephantstay 已经有十年了，一直想去，后来发生了新冠疫情，职业发生了变化，然后又生了双胞胎！！不是我的，是双胞胎大象！而我是异卵双胞胎，深深地爱上了他们。
所以在他们长大之前，我决定是时候了。
我是 Elephantstay 的唯一访客，很幸运能与每个人一对一地体验 😁
最初几天很安静，因为我对环境、大象有了感觉，并且十年后再次身处异国他乡。
我为我的住宿和体验打 11/10 分。它不仅首先很友好，而且很有教育意义，能够理解人们缺乏经验和有限的理解，理解与大象有着 5000 年工作关系的文化。
如果我看到了什么不喜欢或不理解的东西，那么我会被鼓励在评判之前提问。我确实问了问题，因为我感兴趣，很好奇，而且很适合我，这是一种新体验，这真是太棒了，大象真的很棒！
我以前去过泰国，和澳大利亚中部的土著居民一起生活过，我的朋友都以饲养牛、马、羊和骆驼等牲畜为生。我对不同的文化和与动物打交道有着基本的了解。所以我很尊重地吸收了周围发生的事情。
我以前从事护理工作，对大象的照料和清洁程度印象深刻。食物的需要、获得和供应量让我震惊。抓住这个独特的机会，给大象喂食，这些食物可以在现场购买。
观察大象的日常活动很有趣。驯象人准备让坐骑去喂食、洗澡和工作。这种共生关系反映了它们在日常生活中和谐相处。
我从来没有像现在这样靠近大象，这是一种非常谦卑的经历。这种雄伟的生物体型巨大，美不胜收。当我不是食物的搬运者时，它大部分时间都像其他动物一样对我不感兴趣😂。
Jumpee、Yitor、Soy、Honey、Rasamee 和（该死，我忘记了她的名字，这让我感到有点泄气）都是美丽的生物，很难不想和它们互动，但是互动有基于人类安全和大象安全的规则，出于对所有人尊重，我很乐意遵守。
人类真是了不起，Ewa、Michelle 和 Lexi 就是我最关心的人，因为他们协调了大象住宿和计划。如果你想在大城府做其他事情或只是想休息一下，这个计划很简单、轻松且灵活。
我有幸结识了一些很棒的泰国人，他们是大象村的一员，这需要一个社区！！感谢我信任的 Jumpee 驯象师 Pong，尽管我几乎不会说泰语，但他还是耐心、善良、健谈。
帮自己一个忙，去体验一下大象寄养，我强烈推荐，我迫不及待地想在未来体验更多大象寄养。
哦，骑 Jumpee，我认为这是一次非常个人的体验，我已经赞不绝口了，多么神奇的生物，多么棒的体验，对每一头大象、驯象师和孩子都有这种关系，我都感到尊重和钦佩。我敬畏不已。
