Thailand is a safe place to visit, as long as you

and have respect for the local people and their
culture.
The most common dangers in Thailand are
sunburn, dehydration and hangovers, however
travelling in a group with Ultimate Thailand
makes it even safer! Our tour guides have
travelled Thailand extensively, and will share
their experience, local knowledge and hangover-
cures with you.
I’m travelling alone, how do I meet others?
Ultimate Thailand is a guided, group tour so you
won’t be alone. You will travel Thailand with a
group of other like-minded travellers, aged 18-

Your tour guide will also be with you, to ensure

fun. You can see our tour guides on our website

13. Why we don’t ride elephants...
There’s certainly something magical about the idea of riding an elephant through
the jungle, and who doesn’t want to say: “I went to Thailand and rode an elephant”
and post some cool photos on Facebook to show your friends? Unfortunately
though, the truth is, riding elephants is not cool, and here’s why...
For thousands of years, elephants have been an important part of Thai culture. Due to their size,
strength and powerful trunks, elephants were highly revered as a creature for work and warfare.
However, in the late eighties, the tradition of using elephants in industry ended, due to bans
imposed on the logging industry. This created huge problems for the elephant handlers and
owners (mahouts) who had to find a way to pay for the upkeep of their elephants, who require up
to 200 kilograms of food a day.
Many mahouts found their only option was to earn money from tourists, through elephant
trekking, rides or entertainment. The tourism industry was a viable alternative but it came with
bad consequences, with the risk of exploitation when animals and commercialisation meet.
We won’t go into detail, but the sad truth is, we will never support elephant camps in Thailand
that provide ‘entertainment’ such as seated elephant rides, elephant painting or training
elephants to dance / sit / stand on two legs. Don’t believe everything you hear - these elephants
are mistreated and their ‘training’ is abusive.
We’re happy to say we do support a small selection of Thai elephant sanctuaries who are
dedicated to providing elephants with the highest quality-of-life possible. We would LOVE you to
experience elephants up close, in this kind of environment, so ask us about it and we’ll tell you
more!
Thanks for your understanding!
