The best experience of our trip so far 🐘❤️
Elephant Steps Chiang Rai的点评
点评：My boyfriend and I visited Elephant Steps today, and honestly, it was the best experience of our trip so far. From the moment we arrived, it was so clear how much the workers genuinely love and care for the animals. This is somewhere that truly exceeded our expectations.
Our day started at 8:40am when we were collected from our accommodation in Chiang Rai and taken on a roughly 40-minute drive into a beautiful, secluded area where the animals are able to roam freely. We were welcomed with coffee and tea before being introduced to the four elephants we would be spending the day with.
We were given boots because it’s wet season and then set off into the jungle with the elephants. One of the things we loved most was that the elephants were completely in charge. We simply followed them at their own pace along the trail rather than the elephants being made to perform or do anything for tourists. We had heard so many horror stories about so-called “ethical sanctuaries” where animals are still chained, mistreated or forced to entertain visitors, so seeing how genuinely respected these elephants were was incredibly reassuring.
We spent around two hours walking through the jungle with them, and we were also delighted when four of the sanctuary’s dogs decided to join us for the day! As huge dog lovers, this was honestly one of the highlights for us. 🐕❤️
Elephant Steps is also home to around 60 stray dogs, all of whom are clearly extremely well cared for. They also have chickens, donkeys and boars that have been rescued from slaughterhouses. It was amazing to see so many different animals living together in such a peaceful environment.
After our jungle walk, we stopped by a beautiful lake for lunch. The food was completely vegetarian, incredibly fresh and genuinely some of the nicest food we’ve had so far in Thailand. We then got to take a bamboo raft out onto the lake — and, of course, one of the dogs came along with us too! 🥹
We spent some time relaxing by the lake with the elephants, dogs and the lovely workers before eventually making our way back to the sanctuary. We had another coffee before being driven back to our accommodation.
The entire day felt almost surreal. The workers were incredibly kind, welcoming and accommodating, and they made us feel like part of the family rather than tourists. Most importantly, it never felt like the animals were there for our entertainment — we were guests in their world.
I think it’s so important for tourists to educate themselves about animal welfare before booking an elephant sanctuary experience, because unfortunately not every place that calls itself “ethical” truly is. Elephant Steps completely blew us away, and we left feeling so happy that we had chosen somewhere where the animals’ wellbeing genuinely comes first.
We couldn’t recommend Elephant Steps highly enough. ❤️🐘🐕 We really hope they continue to get more visitors and support, because places like this deserve it!

翻译：今天，我和男朋友参观了“大象步道”。说实话，这是我们此行中最棒的体验。从我们踏入园区的那一刻起，就能明显感受到工作人员们对这些大象满怀热爱与关怀。这里真的超出了我们的预期。
我们的行程始于早上8点40分，当时有人从我们在清莱的住宿处接上我们，随后驱车约40分钟便来到了一处美丽而幽静的地方——在那里，大象们可以自由自在地活动。我们刚到就被热情地用咖啡和茶招待，随后又被介绍给今天要一起共度的四头大象。
由于正值雨季，我们领到了雨靴，随后便与大象们一同走进了丛林。最让我们喜欢的一点是：这些大象完全自主行事。我们只是顺着它们自己的节奏沿着小径前行，而大象们也并不会为了迎合游客而表演或做些什么。我们听过太多关于那些所谓“道德庇护所”的可怕传闻——那里的动物仍被拴住、遭受虐待，甚至被迫为游客表演。因此，看到这些大象受到了真正的尊重与善待，我们感到无比安心。
我们花了大约两个小时与它们一起在丛林中漫步。后来，庇护所里的四只狗也决定加入我们，这让我们欣喜不已！作为超级爱狗人士，这对我们来说绝对是此次行程中的一大亮点。🐕❤️
Elephant Steps这里还收养了大约60只流浪狗，显然它们都得到了悉心照料。此外，这里还有从屠宰场救回来的鸡、驴以及野猪。看到这么多不同的动物能在如此和谐的环境中共同生活，真是令人惊叹。
在丛林徒步之后，我们在一片美丽的湖边享用午餐。食物全为素食，新鲜可口，绝对是我们在泰国至今吃过的最美味的食物之一。随后，我们乘着竹筏荡舟湖上——当然，有一只狗狗也跟我们一起去了！🥹
我们在湖边与大象、狗狗们以及热情友善的工作人员们一起放松休闲了一会儿，之后才返回保护区。临走前我们又喝了杯咖啡，随后便被送回住处。
整整一天都仿佛置身梦境一般。工作人员们极其友善、热情且体贴入微，让我们感觉自己就像是这个大家庭的一员，而不仅仅是游客而已。最重要的是，我们始终觉得这些动物并非供我们取乐的对象——我们只是它们世界里的客人而已。
我认为游客在预订与大象相关的旅游项目之前，了解相关的动物福利知识至关重要。遗憾的是，并非所有自称“道德合规”的机构真的能做到这一点。Elephant Steps给我们留下了极其深刻的印象，离开时我们深感庆幸，庆幸自己选择了一个真正把动物福祉置于首位的地方。我们极力推荐Elephant Steps！❤️🐘🐕 我们真心希望它能迎来更多游客并获得更多支持，因为这样的地方绝对配得上这些！
