Bathing Elephants at a Rescue Center in Bangkok, Thailand
Look straight into the giant brown eyes of Earth's largest land mammals and connect emotionally with these gentle, intelligent beasts through the primordial gesture of bathing. The elephant sanctuary, located on monastery grounds, is part of a larger rescue center that helps all Thailand's wildlife. Volunteers are needed to care for the elephants; you'll be taught everything you need to know to wash, feed, and forage for them. Accommodations are simple but comfortable; volunteers share a house and meals. The best part: watching the elephants roam the nearby forest on their own in the early morning, simply being elephants again.

- Tory Braden The actual name of this reputable an well thought-of sanctuary is Wild Life Friends Thailand. They not only rescue elephants, but many other kinds of wildlife. Their vets & nurses are second to none. They have some of the best studies in the world with gibbons.
