Thailand has no dearth of elephant sanctuaries, with many of them operating as ethical sanctuaries yet offering activities like bathing and feeding elephants. These activities are still considered a disruption to an elephant’s day-to-day routine, as they force the animals to participate even if no riding is involved. The Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary is hailed for its ethical practices, completely eliminating bathing or petting activities. Instead, you can observe these majestic animals naturally roaming their habitat while capturing candid photographs from a distance. This tour also includes a local Thai lunch, thrilling ATV rides on jungle trails, and a white-water rafting experience.
