点评:DO NOT DO THE ELEPHANT RIDE!! The entire trip was great up until the "elephant sanctuary" Sally and Tom where great! The safari was awesome. But arriving at the place to bathe elephants left my heart hurting. My sweet elephants name was Bella and once they put me on her neck I noticed she has 3 new semi bloody gashes on her head and lots of scars. I thought maybe she cut her head on some branches previously as on our walk she was grabbing trees and pulling them down and that i dont know the history of this elephant so i just brushed it off. But it wasn't until I started watching the video that was taken with the elephants that I noticed the handlers behind us had sharp tools and were jabbing the elephants head when the elephant was dunking us. (The dunking was unexpected as no one said what was going to happen) you dont actually get much time with the animal. I FEEL TERRIBLE AND THIS PART OF THE TRIP LEFT MY HEART SORE! I really wished they used an actual sanctuary. I tried asking our tour guide Sally what the same name was and she said it was chiang mai but when I tried to find it online I couldnt but it was in kanchanaburi and was a 45 min drive from the restaurant.
翻译:不要骑大象!!整个旅程都很棒,直到“大象保护区” Sally 和 Tom 都很棒!野生动物园很棒。但到达给大象洗澡的地方时,我的心却痛了起来。我可爱的大象名叫 Bella,当他们把我放在她的脖子上时,我发现她的头上有 3 个新的半血伤口和许多伤疤。我想也许她之前被一些树枝弄伤了头,因为在我们散步时,她抓住树木并把它们拉倒,我不知道这头大象的历史,所以我只是把它拂袖而去。但直到我开始观看与大象一起拍摄的视频时,我才注意到我们身后的饲养员拿着锋利的工具,当大象把我们浸入水中时,他们用尖锐的工具戳大象的头。(浸入水中是意料之外的,因为没有人说会发生什么)你实际上并没有太多时间与动物相处。我感觉很糟糕,旅行的这一部分让我心痛!我真的希望他们使用真正的避难所。我试着问我们的导游莎莉,同样的名字是什么,她说是清迈,但当我尝试在网上查找时,却找不到,但它位于北碧府,距离餐厅有 45 分钟车程。
