Formerly hard-working elephants in Thailand are now retired and living in some sanctuaries. Due to the Covid crisis, they need volunteers to feed the elephants and care for them;
free lodging & food at the sanctuaries can be arranged.
Added bonus: the elephant sanctuaries lie on huge migratory bird paths.
The hawks, especially, are the likes of which you've never seen!
One drawback: the urge to go bathing with the lovable, playful elephants is a sweet temptation that humans must always resist.
But I'd say that biggest drawback is when you return to the States. People persistently ask, "Where in Tailand where you?"
And you must answer, "Phukat!"
