Bike for Elephants 2010

With our first Bike for Elephants event in February 2010 we were able to raise 250,000 baht (5,485 euro) for the Elephant Nature Park and to create more awareness about the plight of Thai elephants. The money will be used to extend the Park, to make sure more elephants can have a natural life in the future.

Bike for Elephants was joined by 50 participants and volunteers, age arranging from 2 years till 64 years old and from many different nationalities. All with the same purpose: to create a better future for Thai elephants. Most participants are living in Thailand, but for many this was the first time to observe free roaming elephants living in family groups. The combination of working hard during the bike ride, spending time together with elephants in nature and making a difference for Thai elephants created a very positive atmosphere. We hope to see you all at Bike for Elephants 2011!
