If    you    are    travelling    in    Thailand,    you    can    now    take    part    in    an    activity    of    an    unusual    kind.    For    a    sum    of    money    which    is    incredibly  modest,    you    can    spend    a    few    days    at    an    elephant    conservation    centre    training    to    be    a    mahout    (elephant    driver).    Primarily    set    up    in    an    endeavour    to    preserve    the    Thai    elephant,    the    center    welcomes    tourism    as    a    means    of    funding    itself.    Nevertheless,    its    programme    remains    strictly    in    with    the    traditions    of    Kachasart,    the    ancient    method    of    studying    elephants,    and    the    mahouts    build    up    very    close    relationships    with    their    elephants.    Training    is    believed    to    be    beneficial  to    the    elephants,    providing    them    with    physical    and    mental  .  Their    well-being    is    considered    of    utmost    importance.    The    elephants    are    captive,    of    course,    and    the    center    has    been    criticized  for    not    allowing    them    to    go    free.    The    reality,    however,    is    that    deforestation    has    left    wild    elephants    struggling    to    survive    in    habitats    that    are    shrinking    almost    on    a    basis,    and    the    centre    offers    them    a    sanctuary    -    for    the    time    being    at    least.
