    -- More Info --
    Ethical Elephant interaction in Thailand - The main thing to look for is how the animals are treated/how happy they are. Most of the good places will only allow a single rider (if any) to ride bare back on the neck and will have weight restrictions. You want to avoid any place that straps riding platforms on the backs of their elephants. Almost everywhere you will see their caretakers riding them, don't let this frighten you. This is a tradition that goes back hundreds of years but if each elephant has one care taker (mahout) that they love and respect that is most important. They pretty much spend all day every day with them which allows the mahout to be able to gain trust and control with voice commands. Keep an eye out for this relationship, as a lot of places use circus-style bull hooks to harshly keep the elephants. Make sure to avoid any circus like shows where they make the animals perform, dance or paint with their trunks. To train an elephant to do those things is very unnatural. The elephants we took care of were not made to do anything they didn't want to. They had very clear physical signs that they were content and knowing that they're happy made us all have an amazing time!
