Hanging with the Elephants in Hua Hin Thailand!

Kind of sad? This is totally not acceptabel! They chained up for live. No gras for them to eat because they cant reach it! And you are standing there if its totally oké.... I hope you are being cynical in this!!!
Go look here to reach out to one of these organisations who can help saving these poor animals. Or go directly to this organisation http://stae.org/ (safe the Asian elephant.)! And please read about the cruelties these poor animals have to encounter there lives!
I totally understand, i would be super excited also if i encountered those animals! It's terrible what they do to those animals to let them listen to people. The really physical torture the animals so they stay calm if there are tourists around them but they are just so afraid being tortured again by their owners! What country is this?
Nowadays there are more and more camps that call themselves a reserve or camps where you can be, for example, “Mahout for a day”. This sounds wonderful, but it is often not the case for the animals. These camps have a set routine every day, a set schedule that the elephant must meet so that you, the visitor, can touch, wash and feed the elephant. Seven days a week. Every day again. And different people every time. How stressful is that? Is that really a form of freedom the elephants prefers?
This form of tourism, in which the elephant has to follow a fixed daily schedule, is still a form of entertainment in my opinion; the interaction between you and the animal is determined by the camp. The elephant is not completely free to do whatever it wants. And how do you get an wild animal to behave like that between people?
This is a clip from Thailand where they "train" a young elephant. Its ducht but the image speek of its own i think.
