    Elephant Sanctuary

    April 8, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    The use of elephants has a long history in this region. They would be used exploitadly in wars, for carrying large objects, sustainably when their poo is used to smoke out mosquitos or create paper or touristicly to please, well, me and my group.

    Interesting to note is that these elephants simply lived in the jungle during covid times for two years and now came back by themselves when the tourists (and mainly bananas) returned. They also leave the sanctuary to the jungle every night and come back by themselves in the morning.
    Definetely more free than in a Zoo.
