P8 DOI INTHANON + WATERFALL + ELEPHANTS CARE (Joy Group)

One of the most rewarding experiences when visiting an elephant sanctuary or camp is feeding these majestic animals. Before feeding, it’s essential to approach the elephants calmly and listen to the instructions provided by the caretakers.

Elephants typically enjoy a variety of fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, sugarcane, watermelon, and corn. When feeding them, hold the food in your hand, and the elephant will use its long, muscular trunk to grab the food and place it in its mouth. Sometimes, the elephant may even allow you to place the food directly into its mouth, giving you an up-close view of its massive size and gentle nature.

During this process, you’ll notice how carefully the elephant uses its trunk, which is both powerful and delicate. Their trunk serves many purposes, from feeding and drinking to communicating and showing affection.

By feeding elephants and observing their way of life, you gain a deeper appreciation for their intelligence, social structure, and role in the environment. It's an experience that not only highlights the beauty of these creatures but also underscores the importance of conserving and protecting them for future generations.
