About the Elephant Camp

All the logging was officially abandoned in Thailand from 1989 and so it also demands that the elephants that had been employed in the logging industry no longer have to work. Since it is very expensive to feed and care for an elephant in captivity, many elephants owners started using the elephants in the tourist industry. In the tourist industry there is a lot of abuse of elephants. In response to save the elephants and to try to keep the elephants in their natural environments, a group of elephants owners set up this elephant camp in Chang Mai. Each elephant owner is responsible for taking care of their own elephant. To make sure that no elephants is abused or overworked. All the elephants will stay in the forest at night in their natural environments. Volunteers, who say the homestay with a local family, will go to the forest in the morning to wake up the elephants and give them a bath in the river. At the end of the day volunteers will ride the elephants back to the river to give them a bath. Then the elephants will go back to the forest to have a good night sleep.
