I know this isn’t going to make everyone who reads this happy. There is so much information: good, bad, correct, incorrect, false, and accurate information, etc. going around about ethical animal travels and excursions. It’s tough to know what to think without truly experiencing it. I will not ride elephants, that much is clear, and I have my own opinions on the elephant excursion matter. I do live here in Thailand and hear, see, and learn A LOT about it, but I’m not going to get into it. I’m not one for cyberbullying, trolling, and cyber arguments, so I’m not going to get into it. I felt that our experience, although far from perfect, was insightful, and was special.
1) Would I go back to Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket? The answer is NO. It was way too crowded.
2) Would I go to another elephant sanctuary? Yes, and I have twice, but I did more research and found one that is more personable and less humans.
Please keep your negative comments to yourself. This is a personal blog on personal experiences. Thank you.****
