Elephant Show — Attraction in Sam Wa Tawan Tok Subdistrict

I haven’t been there, nor seen the so called ‘elephant show’, but from the video’s I have seen or photo’s which have been taken, this practice should be done with a lot of pressure and punishments to the elephants to perform under such stressful circumstances (noise from public, speaking from a close distance in a microphone on loud sound, maybe even small residents where the elephants stay when not performing).

The handlers consistently use Hooks to nudge the Elephants into performing. That is why they have those ladies dancing with Umbrellas etc., to create a distraction while the hooks are subtly jabbed into the side of the Elephants.

I seriously hope they will either discontinue this show or tone it down to a level where high performance tricks are not expected from these...

Most are also taken away from their parents at a very young age. Up to you if you want to support this. It’s...
