点评:What a hidden gem! Intimate, genuinely ethical elephant reserve and off the beaten path.
We spent the day with Jack and his wonderful family, including two very special elephants (mother & daughter) and it was incredible.
Jack picked us up from our hotel in Chiang Mai first thing in the morning and drove us to his reserve which was two hours away. He speaks perfect English and told us interesting things about the Karen tribe as we drove.
We then met the elephants, played with them and fed them before watching them bathe and then joining them on a two hour trek through the jungle - their morning walk and graze! After that, we had a delicious lunch, prepared by Jack and his wife and we sat on his deck overlooking his own personal little waterfall where the elephants soon came to play and bathe. After lunch, we joined Jack in making medicine balls for the elephants which we then fed them before wrapping up and returning back to our hotel.
All in all the most amazing day. If you want to experience this, I suggest you get in touch with Jack as soon as you book your trip because he only sees a limited number of families per month!
翻译:多么隐藏的宝石啊!亲密、真正有道德的大象保护区,人迹罕至。
我们与杰克和他美好的家人一起度过了一天,其中包括两只非常特别的大象(母女),这真是令人难以置信。
杰克早上第一件事就是从清迈的酒店接我们,然后开车送我们到他的保护区,距离酒店有两个小时的路程。他能说一口流利的英语,并在我们开车时向我们讲述了有关克伦部落的有趣事情。
然后我们见到了大象,和它们一起玩耍,给它们喂食,然后观看它们洗澡,然后和它们一起进行两小时的丛林徒步旅行——它们早上散步和吃草!之后,我们吃了杰克和他的妻子准备的美味午餐,我们坐在他的甲板上,俯瞰着他自己的小瀑布,大象很快就来玩耍和洗澡。午餐后,我们和杰克一起为大象制作实心球,然后喂它们,然后返回酒店。
总而言之,这是最奇妙的一天。如果您想体验这一点,我建议您在预订行程后立即与 Jack 联系,因为他每个月接待的家庭数量有限!
