I've been back home for a few days now, catching up on things, waking up at 5 am, sleeping all day, stomach a little upset...this is jet lag. Despite my best efforts I'm feeling the long plane ride and drastic time difference.
I took 3 weeks to travel to 2 different countries, not enough time to really do everything. For the time I was there, though it was amazing. I felt humbled and privileged to share the ground with these elephants. I plan on another trip as soon as possible.
Please spread the word, support the ethical treatment of these majestical animals by visiting parks like Elephant Nature Park. Do your research. Elephants are a huge economic part of Thailand and India so using them for tourism will never stop. But, we can make a difference on how they are treated. Do not participate in riding elephants or elephant shows. If you see something you don't agree with, an animal being mistreated, say something. Speak up. They can't speak for themselves.
