I have just put up pages on two animal oriented Day Trips which are a fascinating look at magnificent jungle creatures at close quarters.
The Tiger Temple - Kanchanaburi
Run by monks this is a wonderful experience. The temple has been somewhat controversial lately as the Tiger Island planned for the tigers to be let to run free has not eventuated.However, bear in mind these lovely animals would not have lived had they not been rescued by locals and brought to the Temple. Here they may be used to satisfy the curiosity of tourists, but they are well feed and looked after....and they have a lovely relationship with the monks who with the help of volunteers , care for them.You can read more at http://www.fascinating-travel-destinations.com/tiger-temple.html
Elephant Sanctuary - Chiang Mai
This was a wonderful day tour and you experienced the elephants in different guises. They put on a show displaying their talents, you have a ride for an hour, and see them in the water having a load of fun with their mahouts.Set in the midst of a village it is interesting to experience somehting of the village and surrounding farming lifestyle.
Both these activities are part of tours that include other sights and experiences and come highly recommended.
