2,500bht entry fee seems a little pricey!

By visiting, all one does is perpetuate the market (abuse) of breeding them for the tourist industry.

In the end its about the money, not the elephants, although its often cleverly disguised.

As we've seen during covid, if the elephants don't meet their targets in terms of ROI, they're chucked out.

Isn't this the place that went out of their way to help elephants and mahouts that were chucked out during Covid?

That's because you get sued if you report the truth. Or offered money. Or offered something much worse.
