When you get a chance in life to walk amongst these gentle giants, your life will never be the same again. We visited the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, Thailand and spent the day getting to know just how friendly these creatures can be. However, make sure you do your research before you go to see elephants in Thailand. Please don't ever book a tour that allows you to ride them, as there is a good chance that these animals have endured a level of abuse to get them this docile. Please do not contribute to these establishments. This one is a rescue centre that rescues elephants that were used for riding and performing and I highly recommend it.
