最高の体験です。象とともに生きる、そんな生活を体験させてもらえます。カレン族の方々の象への深い慈しみと愛情。それを感じながら、私たちも敬意を払って象たちと接します。そうして心を通わせ合いながら、過ごす半日間は本当に言葉に代え難いスペシャルな体験です。言うまでもなくこの旅一番のハイライトになりました。

Amazing experience getting to know the elephants and the Karen people’s care and love for them. Not exploitative tourism but educational and authentic.
