@elephantsofthailand: Why we don’t allow bathing. 1. The elephants don’t like it and are forced against their will into the water. 2. Elephants would not be in the water naturally five times per day as they would an elephant camp that allows bathing. So many tourists each day would have their hands all over them in the water. This is unnatural, and therefore we don’t consider it sanctuary practice. We put the welfare of our elephants first. 3. It is dangerous and unhygienic. These are wild animals at the end of the day. They also urinate and defecate every time they get in the water. Please don’t support elephant camps that offer bathing or mud spas. #elephant #asianelephants #animalwelfare #ethicaltourism #khaosokelephantsanctuary #khaosoktours #khaosoknationalpark #nobathing #saddlesoff #noriding #chooseethical #fyp #foryourpage
Elephants love to swim, cool off and frolic in the water and then cover themselves with mud. They love to do alone or with their elephant groups.

🤦♀️I thought you were talking about hosing them off or something at first and now I feel dumb. Why would anyone want to enter the water with an elephant regardless? 🤢💀

Place I went has only 1 program per day for the elephants. They seemed pretty happy running towards the river

I went to Maerim elephant home in Chiang Mai and we did bath them. Does anyone know if it’s a bad place? Please have something to support your claim

only way to keep it ethical is to stop domesticating wild life (not just bathing )

The sanctuary I went too didn’t use any tools or hooks to get them in the water. They just walked in and seemed happy lol

Coming to Thailand would like to know good elephant sanctuaries, please and thank you. You also have an elephant I’d like to get into a sanctuary. How would I do that? I was told last time I was there it cost about $5000. Is that true?

I don't know where you went but they freely went in to the water and played with people. If anything giving them bananas was enough for them to go in the water.
