Sad statistics: back in the 1950s, there were about 50.000 elephants in Thailand. Today, only 3,000–3,500 remain. The reasons are deforestation and the exploitation of animals for tourism.

Places like Elephant Care Park Nai Dee Phuket exist to help stop the disappearance of elephants. Any form of exploitation is forbidden here – tourists can only observe the elephants’ peaceful life in the wild.
