"Over seven days, we explored seven elephant sanctuaries, carefully selecting the most ethical and intimate places to connect with these gentle giants. We climbed more than a thousand steps to uncover the temples that hold the deepest cultural stories and the most breathtaking views. We are excited to show you the very best of Thailand."
