Thailand Review (teen trip)

This trip was the most impactful and memorable experiences I have ever had in my life. I cannot begin to explain how much fun all the other volunteers and the guides were. All of the days were filled with laughter and joy even when we were doing the physical labor such as farming and planting trees next to the elementary schools. The best part in my opinion was the elephant experience, the sanctuary treats these elephants so well and they are rescued from logging industries or horrible homes. They get to roam over 400 acres of land and they have mahouts that know how to track them so they aren't confined in one space which I think is very important to know that GIVE isn't using unethical tourism in their trips. The meals were SOOO good and most of the time you went to local restaurants to help support local people who may be struggling. I swear every meal I had I went in for seconds, it was AMAZING. Also don't be scared about safety, all the guides take careful safety measures and all the food is perfectly safe for you and everyone who the organization works with is safe.
