An elephant camp in Thailand has bought six new jumbos to welcome tourists and returning Chinese visitors, offering activities from elephant rides to elephant showers, the owner said.
The Pang Chang Kamala Elephant Camp on the resort island of Phuket is also adding programs such as elephant care due to an increase in bookings after the Lunar New Year, camp owner Vitaya Taviros told Reuters.
“Since there has been an increase in the number of tourists, we are ready to welcome them, even with our newly purchased elephants,” said Vitaya.
