Come for the elephants, stay for the people
Elephant Freedom Village的点评
点评:Just finished a 3-day stay at EFV and am so glad I did.
The elephants are the star attraction of course. I learned about their feeding and care, hiked through the forest with them, bathed them, and wrestled with adorable naughty babies Moana and Maui. The sanctuary is very ethical towards its elephants—their wellbeing comes first.
But not to be diminished was the larger experience culturally and experientially. Non and his family were so kind and hospitable. I got to learn about the culture of the Karen people, ate delicious food, and got to feel firsthand the life in Northern Thailand’s rural hill country. It was a great respite from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, and of my city life back home.
If you’re looking for more than just a vacation and want to immerse yourself in a rich and fulfilling adventure off the beaten path, I can’t recommend this place enough.
翻译:刚刚结束了在EFV的三天行程,真是太棒了!
大象当然是这里最大的亮点。我了解了它们的喂养和护理,和它们一起徒步穿越森林,给它们洗澡,还和可爱又淘气的幼象莫阿娜和毛伊玩耍。这家保护区对待大象非常用心——它们的福祉是第一位的。
但同样重要的是这次旅行带来的文化和体验。Non和他的家人非常友善热情。我了解了克伦族的文化,品尝了美味的食物,并亲身感受到了泰国北部山区乡村的生活。这让我从曼谷的喧嚣和家乡的城市生活中得到了极大的放松。
如果你想寻找的不仅仅是一次普通的度假,而是一次远离尘嚣、充满意义的探险之旅,我强烈推荐这里。
