Wild or bred in captivity elephants go through some sort of training to be this close to humans. All sanctuaries that support elephant selfies are just as cruel as those who support riding and bathing elephants. A true sanctuary would let them roam as they are in a natural habitat and humans will be observing them from a respectful distance, meaning, no touching and no feeding them junk food like bananas. Something for you to think about.

Hi. I didn’t need any shots for Laos but I visited 2 years ago. Maybe things have changed meanwhile. This is the only elephant sanctuary I’ve been to. It’s hard to find ethical sanctuaries. Unfortunately, I don’t know exactly how much of the proceeds go to the cause but I’m pretty sure that most of them do. Hope it helps

Did you need any shots prior to visiting Laos? I have not had any shots going to China or Thailand, but I heard that going to the forest it’s highly recommended. I decided not to go to Laos just to avoid getting shots. :/

Have you been to any another humane animal sanctuaries? Thank you!

Any idea how much of the proceeds paid to enter the sanctuary go to support their cause?
