Elephants At Ayutthaya Elephant Camp Thailand Royalty-Free Stock Image

The Ayutthaya Elephant Camp offers an unique opportunity not only to meet the elephants, but to actually stay at the camp (known as a kraal) for between one to twenty-eight days and learn about how the 90 elephants who live there are cared for and trained. At the Ayutthaya Elephant Camp you can learn about the care and effort it takes to keep the mighty beasts alive and well and see the care and love that their mahouts feel for them. In the past, Thailand’s elephants were mainly used for heavy work such as moving logs and trees, but today they have turned their hands to the entertainment industry and can be seen giving rides, painting and even playing football. You can visit the website and fill in the volunteer form for an up close and personal elephant experience, or simply stay at the camp for a couple of days.
