Als onderdeel van een dagtocht naar de erawan watervallen gingen we ook langs dit kamp. Eenmaal in dit kamp werden we gelijk op een olifant gezet. Ons gevoel was gelijk slecht. De bestuurder had een s... more »

As part of a day trip to the erawan waterfalls we went also along this camp. Once in this camp, we were equal on an elephant. Our feeling was equal bad. The driver had a stick with a hook to the elephant with it to save/poking, the elephant had to walk up and down stairs, and at the end of the 30 minute ride pulled the driver still just not a tip from our pockets. Then we went 30 minutes bambooraften. That was nice, on the River, but rafting was not. You were with a motor boat against the current drawn and then bobbed with the flow back. That elephants were sitting on the camp itself to a chain of less than a meter long. Downright pathetic!

今回はツアーで参加しました。初めは川の方に下りて行って、竹いかだで川の上流に向かい(上流に向かう間はボートで引っ張る！)、そこから川下りを体験しました。そして、終わって象乗り！一言で言えば楽しかったし、十分に楽しませてもらいました。写真もかなり多く撮ってくれました。ほんとかなりの量です。そのせい？で、最初にライディングに出発したのにも関わらず、一番最後に終わるという結果に^^; 途中で少しだ... more »

This time I took part in the tour. First go down to the River, across the River on a bamboo raft (going upstream to pull in the boat! ), We experience the River from there. And, after the elephant rides! And in a nutshell it was fun, I was entertained enough. Took quite a lot of pictures. It is a significant amount. Because of that? And even though first started riding, ending at the end ^ ^; And joined the River only a little in the Middle, usually see through the steep sloping landscapes also enjoyed while feeling the breath of different views. Mahout staff is appreciated. (Chip gave him solid. ) Thailand, elephants and are inseparable. Rooted in life, and is rooted in the faith of the town. Technology and development in such elephant in elephant population declines across Asia, as well, and so far have been trained in forestry, etc. so are capitalizing on-also. If you have a chance take a look at once is recommended.

Les elephants sont très malheureux, ils ont une armature en fer qui à l’air de peser très lourd, et on leur tir les oreilles et on leur donne des coups de batons ! La baignade avec l’éléphant c’est pa... more »

Elephants are very unhappy, they have an iron frame that looks to weigh very heavy, and we shooting them ears and we give them shots of sticks! Swimming with the elephant is not better, they are treated like circus animals! Very disappointed!
