Elephant Nature Park standard for no riding — book direct website, full day. Avoid rides, hooks, circus shows. Further out but worth it. "Bathe with elephants" OK only small groups, no chains.

Read recent reviews for any camp — standards slip. Street tour flyers undercut for a reason.

ENP booked out 5 days ahead in November — plan early.
