We’ve all seen it. Someone putting up that mandatory selfie with an elephant after their “once in a lifetime trip” around South East Asia.
Maybe you thought to yourself, “That’s as basic as it gets”, or “Thread lightly around that trunk fu**face, you might get squished”. But you probably also wondered…
What’s it like to stand so close to the biggest mammal on the planet?
This week, lucky to be in Thailand, we wanted to tick this activity off our “Basic Bitch Travel Checklist” and visit an Elephant Sanctuary.
But this one (Elephant Nature Park, Chiang Mai) is a little different. It prides itself on being one of the most ethical around. That means no riding, no touching, no feeding, no washing. Just looking.
Isn’t that basically what a zoo is?
In this episode, expect to hear all about our research and general sh*te talk about elephant sanctuaries. Essentially covering, why would anyone bother with them.
You’ll also hear our game of the week - “Uptown Trunk”.
Tune in next week to hear if you actually should bother with them or not based on our experience and world renowned ranking system, the Should I Bother Beans.
Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing? We’d love your review!
