The village of elephants is an amazing reserve, which without exaggeration can be called unique. Here, not only does human contact with elephants - animals, which in Thailand are considered sacred. In the village of elephants, these mostly elderly herbivores live in complete safety and earn their livelihoods for themselves and the villagers. In addition, some of the money earned from the sale of tickets, is to support the species and pay for veterinary services.
The elephant village was founded in 1973 as a private nature reserve in which sick and old animals were provided with medical care. Since in the jungle these animals could not survive on their own, they are no longer used for hard work, and the infirmary for elephants was re-qualified as a kind of amusement park. The glory of this unusual elephant farm has long been outside Thailand, and now almost every tourist is eager to visit here to see the legendary "elephant" show.

Today there are about 30 animals in the village, with more than 100 employees taking care of them. Three shows are held every day with elephants, each of which gathers about 1000 spectators. After visiting here, you will learn a lot about the life and behavior of these good-natured forest giants, see the miracles of training - elephants proudly show personal achievements in acrobatics, painting, playing musical instruments and even driving a car, and you can feed elephants with bananas and commit A little trip on horseback. The highlight of the program is the famous Thai massage performed by ... elephants! Of course, not all the guests are solved in the hands of such an original masseur, but only the most desperate and reckless, but they have memories for life.

Hey! Are these your own photos in your posts? Or is only the text yours?

Hi, I am in a group of tourists and we sometimes exchange pictures, but 80% of my photos. Sorry for bad english)))

Okay thanks, please use "original" tag if its your photos so curators can vote more efficiently. :)

I'm sorry, I'm here recently, what does the original tag mean?

Just that I know he is the one who took the photos and isn't just "sharing" them.

So I need to write at the beginning of the post that it was I who made these pictures and not my friends tourists? Is that what you mean?

Some users use [original] or [original photos] to let readers and curators know, while others share sources if the photos are not theirs.

Then I need to put the original tag and all that?
