Animals in Koh Samui

Full Day Diving Activity in Thailand with Lunch

TOP organized diving trip to Sail Rock

The price is not exactly a bargain, but you are well taken care of, get a 3-course lunch on the boat, and are picked up and brought back to the hotel absolutely on time.

Ethical Elephant Sanctuary in Koh Samui

A morning with the Elephants

We travelled to this park as it is the only park on the island that takes care of ageing elephants that have been mistreated elsewhere. They are not forced to perform or are washed multiple times a day for tourists. Instead you get what the name suggests, a well presented, professional talk about how the elephants have been mistreated around Thailand over the years and how new steps are being undertaken in order to save the dignity and health of these animals. The guides are well spoken, are able to interject humour into a rather unfortunate story behind every elephant in the park. You are given ample time to understand what they eat and why, before being shown how the sanctuary prepare the elephants daily food. You are then encouraged to get hands on and help them making baskets of food which you can then feed to each elephant in turn when you go to see them and understand their complex needs. It’s very hot within the park, drink plenty of water, wash your hands frequently and dress sensibly. We saw some tourists arrive in bikinis and flip flops with beach attire. I would suggest closed toe shoes and something you feel comfortable walking on uneven ground, for your own safety. At the end you are given a few minutes to ask any further questions, have a light lunch and pick up a souvenir before being ushered back into the waiting buses to return you to your resort. A big thank you to Apple and the staff for making the trip enjoyable.
