Asian elephants are an honored part of Thailand’s culture. Though still an integral element of the workforce, too often in busy urban areas are mistreated and abused by “mahouts” (elephant handlers). The Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation created in 2005 a safe haven for abused or sick elephants by taking them off the streets of Bangkok and also providing training and employment for their handlers.The foundation currently supports several projects to protect elephants and their habitat in different countries of the region.
