12. Volunteer in an Elephant Sanctuary
If you’ve fallen in love with elephants from afar and want to spend time with them up close, then a visit to the Elephant Nature Park conservatory in Thailand is the perfect vacation destination for you. The conservatory offers several different opportunities to work with their herd of elephants, ranging from a one-day visit to a week-long stay. They even have special programs for vets-in-training to get hands-on experience.
There’s always plenty of work for volunteers, ranging from bathing and feeding elephants to enhancing conservation efforts by making connections with local tribes. There will probably be a lot of poop involved, but you’ll leave with the satisfaction of knowing that you made a difference.
