Here are some key points about the Hug Elephant Sanctuary in Chiang Mai
- Hug Elephant Sanctuary has partnered with elephant mahouts (caretakers) who are from the local Karen villages. They are interested in bringing their elephants to join in this project because it allows them to provide for their families while maintaining a focus on the elephants’ quality of life.
- Hug Elephant Sanctuary divides the revenue they earn from their wonderful guests equally: 50% goes to the mahouts and is for elephants’ food, and the other 50% is for the upkeep and operations of the sanctuary and employees.
- There are no elephant shows or elephant rides here, and the use of a hook is not what it once was or is elsewhere. However, the mahouts will carry a hook for self-defense. Elephants are large and strong animals, and Hug Elephant Sanctuary prioritizes the safety of the mahouts and their guests.
- To keep the elephants safe and ensure they do not wander into the agricultural areas of the locals, elephants are kept in a fenced area when the mahouts are not with them. In addition, Hug Elephant Sanctuary pays special attention to the elephants’ health and quality of life. The sanctuary provides enough food for them each day by planting hay and buying agricultural products from the nearby communities. Use many kinds of herbs as medicine for the elephants, and also have veterinarians look after them.
