🐘 The Samui Elephant Sanctuary was an amazing part of our Thailand yoga retreat this year! Watch to the end for a beautiful elephant send off ❤️
At Samui Elephant Sanctuary they take the time to educate guests on the real and tragic problems working elephants face and the importance of ethically rescuing them. Our lead guide, Apple, urged us to spread the word… PLEASE DON’T RIDE ELEPHANTS OR SUPPORT PLACES THAT USE WORKING ELEPHANTS!
We picked this sanctuary because of their dedication to preserving the best quality of life for their elephants. We had the opportunity to interact with them by preparing food and feeding them (with guidance). As we walked around the sanctuary we got to watch the elephants as they explored their space. Each elephant had a history of abuse and a life that needed saving.
🙏 Thank you for all the working you do, Samui Elephant Sanctuary, and for welcoming us into your world!! We hope to visit again soon.
