What does a typical day look like at the mahout project?
You will normally volunteer from Monday to Saturday midday. We usually start at 6.30 in the morning followed by breakfast at 8. Some of the tasks you will perform include preparing food, bathing of the elephants, cleaning the area and of course, you will practice controlling the elephant. Work normally finishes around 3, although if you wish, you may like to spend some time teaching English to the local people or brushing up your Thai cookery skills. Evenings and weekends are free.
