点评:Amazing experience. The caretakers and operators of the rescue are wonderful. They have rescued 10 female Asian elephants from age 41 to 65. We got such a good education about the life and challenges that nothese animals endured before they were rescued. Each elephant cost 20K to get her away from the abuser.
They have 28 donated acres and we walked with the elephants to their 5 stations and we got to feed them treats. It is a lot of walking, some uphill. Wear comfortable shoes, it can rain at any time. They provide umbrellas. Not a pathway for strollers,or walkers.
The last station included a delicious vegetarian meal. One of the best I had in Thailand. Simple with the best flavors, spring rolls, fried rice, massaging curry, pad thai,french fries for the kids and rice. They also introduced a cold butterfly pea tea that starts blue and with a squeeze of lime turns. Super good.
Ate lunch the elephants pool is a few feet away and along came girls. Exciting time. Really special place to visit and a must see.
翻译:一次很棒的体验。这里的看护人员和工作人员都非常出色。他们已经成功救助了10头年龄在41至65岁之间的亚洲雌象。我们了解到了这些大象在获救前所经历的生活状况与种种困境。每一头大象从虐待者手中解救出来都需要花费2万美元。
他们拥有28英亩的捐赠土地,我们跟着大象们走到它们的5个栖息点,还能喂它们零食。这段路程相当漫长,还有不少上坡路。一定要穿舒适的鞋子哦。随时都可能下雨,他们提供雨伞。不过这里没有适合婴儿车或行人行走的小路。
最后一站提供了一顿美味的素食大餐。这是我在泰国吃过的最棒的素食餐点之一。菜品虽简单,但味道极佳:春卷、炒饭、咖喱、泰式炒河粉,还有给孩子们准备的薯条和米饭。他们还提供了一种冷泡的蝴蝶豆茶,这种茶原本是蓝色的,挤入柠檬汁后就会变色。好喝极了。
我在大象池不远处吃午饭,这时一群女孩走了过来。真是个令人兴奋的时刻啊。一个非常值得一游的特别之地,绝对不容错过。
