Go to Thailand, don't forget ride elephants !

Everybody needs to ride elephants in Thailand. Counting me. That was until I spent the day at an elephant asylum and scholarly the aggravating truth about this mainstream movement.
Elephant Nature Park (ENP) is a characteristic asylum concealed in the wonderful wildernesses of Northern Thailand. Their central goal is to secure & nurture abused elephants saved from the tourism and logging commercial ventures. 

Expanding mindfulness and advancing economical elephant-accommodating tourism is another objective. The recreation center at present tends to 36 elephants on 250 sections of land of wild.
When I initially landed at ENP, I wasn't exactly certain what's in store. How close would we be able to get to the elephants? Would we be able to touch them? Is it true that they were perilous?

The main other time I'd seen an elephant outside a zoo was on Safari in South Africa, when one of them charged us! It was a scary ordeal.
