There have been oodles of reports of so-called elephant sanctuaries in Thailand treating animals poorly: separating baby elephants from their moms, using small cages, clubs and piercing bull-hooks for training. However, Elephant’sWorld, a sanctuary where elephants are rescued and freed from inhumane treatment, offers day-long and overnight programs near Kanchanaburi, allowing travellers to closely interact with elephants in an ethical way while enjoying the picturesque scenery of the River Kwai.
