Elephant Traditional bareback riding

In some of the Asia country we always have elephant to take care as domesticated. In the history elephant use to be the best transportation because they are strong. The Karen people in northern Thailand we have been taking care of elephants for many generations. We use to have elephants for farming, wood logging , and transportation. Now elephants have no more work and it is not easy for family alone to take care of them because they eat so much everyday.
Many years later the elephants become a part of tourism. So elephants and the elephant care takers could survive. However, now a day there are many foreigner who lives in Thailand runs elephant business and try to change our culture. There are many fake and dramatic story about elephant on the social media. There are some elephant sanctuary pretend that they rescue elephant and save elephant. Actually sometimes they want to ask for donations from people. I will try to tell the truth from now on.
