If these facts strike your fancy, I recommend checking out Elephant Nature Park. Just north of Chiang Mai in Thailand, ENP is an santuary for elephants, founded by Lek Chailert, who made it her mission to advocate for elephants on their behalf, rescue the ones in need and provide them a safe haven where they are able to live out their lives free of any work (including tourist rides) and abuse. ENP is also home to dogs, cats and water buffalo.
