Elephant Riding 30 Min

ELEPHANT RIDING IN THE ELEPHANT VILLAGE IN PATTAYA When you say Thailand, most people immediately think of riding a real elephant. Visiting Thailand and not riding an elephant is like going to Paris and not visiting the Eiffel Tower. During the elephant ride, you will also see the exotic side of Thailand, wild jungles, and panoramas of green hills. The elephant is a large, kind, and noble animal highly revered by the Thai people. It can safely be said that it is a symbol of the “Land of Smiles.” At the end of the ride, you can even feed the elephant directly from your hand. The Elephant Village in Pattaya is a unique private sanctuary established in 1973. Initially, it offered help to sick animals. The fame of this unusual hospital slowly spread and many visitors wanted to see this place. Thus, a recreational park gradually emerged. Thousands of tourists fondly remember elephant riding in Pattaya and those moments of carefree happiness and pleasure brought to us by these wise animals. The elephant is a sacred symbol of Thailand. A female elephant carries her baby for two long years. From birth until 3-4 years old, the elephant calf is considered a baby. The mother feeds it milk. Once weaned, a mahout cares for the calf’s upbringing and future life. Usually, the young mahout and the elephant calf grow up together. The elephant is practically a family member of the mahout. There is a saying: being a mahout means being married to an elephant because the mahout spends only about 5 days with his family and the remaining 25-26 days with the elephant. From age 14 to 60, the elephant works and only retires after 60. An adult elephant weighs about 4000 kg and needs 300 kg of food daily. It sleeps only 4 hours a day, standing like a horse and snoring loudly. Elephants are famous for their intelligence and cleverness.
