Workers at elephant sanctuaries in Thailand play crucial roles in caring for and protecting elephants while providing educational experiences for visitors. Also known as mahouts, elephant caretakers are responsible for the daily care and well-being of the elephants under their supervision. They feed, bathe, and provide medical care to the elephants, as well as monitor their behavior and health. Sanctuary workers often serve as guides for visitors, leading them on tours of the sanctuary and providing educational information about elephants, their behavior, and conservation efforts. They may also facilitate hands-on interactions with the elephants, such as feeding and bathing experiences.
