Provider checklist — Thailand
Last updated:
Ask these questions in writing before you book. A reputable provider will answer them clearly. Evasion or vague responses are a red flag.
- Does the elephant sanctuary allow ANY tourist contact (riding, bathing, training)? Refuse if yes.
- What's the verification source for 'ethical' wildlife sanctuary claims — independent welfare body or self-declared?
- What's your child safeguarding policy for school-based teaching placements?
