An Elephant Walking Without Chains For The 1st Time In 41 Years Is Melting Hearts Online

Thailand, which is a mesmerizingly beautiful travel destination offering unforgettable eco-adventures, exotic beaches and a wide range of cultures, is also known for its elephant slavery. From fewer than 50,000 Asian elephants left in the wild, sadly 3,000 to 4,000 are held in chains here.
