Elephant Trekking 1 Hour Tour
Are you looking for a little adventure during your holiday? If you are, then how about a ride on an elephant? Where else will you have the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed ride on big buddha mountain paths through the forest on the back of a gentle elephant? To the Thai people, elephants symbolize strength an therefore, they are worshipped in a special way. A lot of artwork, temples and souvenirs are often decorated with elephants. Moreover, in Thailand, anyone who murders or even beats an elephant may face imprisonment for up to thirty years.
In the past, elephants worked in logging camps in the rain forests of northern Thailand. Nowadays machines have taken over the elephant’s job of logging and consequently, elephants and their handlers, or mahouts are out of work. The mahout, who is often the elephant’s owner, is with the elephant for decades and is solely responsible for its care. Many mahouts are trying to create new job opportunities for themselves and their elephants by offering elephant rides to eager tourists.
