点评:What a place!!! Such an informative & inspiring visit. Absolutely loved the half day experience. Visited as a family of 7 including grandparents & children (age 8, 11 & 16) and every single one of us loved it.
Our guide (Lynne I think she was called) was so passionate & answered all questions in such detail.
It was lovely to see the Elephants up close but strictly no touching.
Ethical & wonderful.
Food was great too 👌 & the gift shop there had such lovely gifts all at reasonable prices.
Also, fantastic communication from the driver who picked us up & dropped us back off at our hotel.
10/10
Ps, for context, we visited elephant hills last year (which I would also highly recommend) but this place “felt” more genuine. Each elephant had a mahout but they didn’t carry any sticks to prompt the elephants. We also visited a sanctuary in Khao Lak & that was awful. Elephants did not seem well cared for & you were encouraged to pose for photos touching them which I don’t like.
翻译:真是个好地方!!!这次参观收获颇丰,令人深受启发。我们非常喜欢这半天的体验。我们一家七口,包括祖父母和三个孩子(8岁、11岁和16岁),每个人都玩得很开心。
我们的导游(我记得她叫琳恩)热情洋溢,耐心细致地解答了我们所有的问题。
近距离观赏大象固然很棒,但严禁触摸。
这里既符合伦理又令人赞叹。
食物也很美味👌,礼品店里有很多精美的礼物,价格也很合理。
此外,接送我们的司机沟通也非常好。
满分10分!
补充一下,我们去年也去过象山(我也强烈推荐),但这个地方感觉更“真实”。每头大象都有一位象夫,但他们没有用棍子来引导大象。我们还去了考拉的一个大象保护区,那里的体验很糟糕。大象似乎没有得到很好的照顾,而且工作人员还鼓励游客摆姿势触摸它们拍照,我不喜欢这种做法。
