| Close to Lampang is one of the most authentic elephant training centers of Thailand: The Elephant Conservation Center. The center has longstanding tradition in training wild Asian elephants to carry, push and pull logs in the timber industry in an animal friendly way (based on reward in stead of punishment). Of course there are shows in which they show their skills and there is the possibility to take a very enjoyable ride on their back for about half an hour. However, just as interesting are the factory where they make ecologically friendly paper from elephant dung and the only elephant hospital in the world where disables elephants, due to for instance land mines, are treated and rehabilitated. We went there one a day trip van Chiang Mai and it is highly recommendable when you are even just a bit interested in these big grey animals. |
