- Making Medicine Balls: We created nutritional medicine balls for the elephants-an educational hands-on activity that lets you bond with them.
- Bathing Session: We ended the day by bathing the elephants in a serene lake-an unforgettable but bittersweet experience.
- Vegan Lunch: Enjoyed a vegan meal provided by the sanctuary, emphasizing ethical and sustainable tourism. (Note: we're not vegans, but this was a unique experience offered at the sanctuary).
- Our Verdict: We share our honest thoughts on whether this is a must-do experience in Chiang Mai and who we think would most appreciate it.

[@Mijutsu]

What a great experience! Thanks for taking us along with you. Good point about whether it really is as ethical as they advertise

[@ChasingtheChungs]

Yeah! I guess technically the most ethical sanctuaries have no human-elephant interaction at all so that's why these kinds of sanctuaries, no matter how ethical they may seem on the surface, merit a deeper dive! Thanks for watching!

아이들과 함께 하면 좋은 경험이 될것 같네요.

[@ChasingtheChungs]

맞아요~ 저희랑 투어 같이 한 애들도 좋아하고 재미있게 놀았어요~
