There is a gift shop so maybe you'll want some money for souvenirs but as we were backpacking with hand luggage we didn't buy anything. I hope that helps!vegan.in.brightonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022017381983993283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572519749749123334.post-7726836454296646202017-03-02T13:30:45.332+00:002017-03-02T13:30:45.332+00:00Hi JoJo

I'...Hey Claire! Apologies for the slow reply! <br /><br />I'm super excited that you're heading to ENP - you're going to have the best time. I took Keen's with me which are kind of a walking sandal. Clothing wise yeah, shorts (but not short shorts - it is Thailand and they aren't super appropriate!) and t-shirts for the most part although it does get cold in the evenings and it'll probably still be cold at breakfast time so do make sure to take a hoodie and some longer trousers with you. Accommodation wise there wasn't a safe or anything, I just kept my money and passport in my backpack which had a padlock on it.<br /><br />I really hope that helps, feel free to send more questions my way!vegan.in.brightonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022017381983993283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572519749749123334.post-60146548209635020882017-01-05T11:14:19.436+00:002017-01-05T11:14:19.436+00:00Hi JoJo

Your photos are amazing and I am sure you have many more like you said.<br /><br />I am going there for one week in March can't wait, I am a solo traveller and really looking forward to meeting other like minded people during the week.<br /><br />Could you be so kind to answer a few questions I have??<br /><br />Footwear - what did you take with you? I kinda thought flip flops for the down time but during the day maybe some sort of walking shoe or sandals?<br /><br />Clothing - was the majority of the time in shorts and t-shirts?<br /><br />Accommodation - Is there somewhere that you can securely store your passport/money etc in your room.<br /><br />Thanks in advance,<br />Claire Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572519749749123334.post-32721517277049994772016-03-23T12:27:48.384+00:002016-03-23T12:27:48.384+00:00Thanks Kirsten!

I can never remember the times but if you do a google search for Twitter travel chats you'll find the times and hashtags. You'll also meet loads of solo travellers whilst you're there, everyone is put into small working groups so you won't feel lost or lonely and the buffet meals are a great time to get chatting to new people. I hope that helps and that you have an amazing time - it's such a great place and I hope I can go back one day.vegan.in.brightonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022017381983993283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572519749749123334.post-3721463826221297602016-01-12T13:35:44.417+00:002016-01-12T13:35:44.417+00:00Hi!

When you're scooping poop there are elephants around and when you're working in the kitchen prepping food for the elephants you get to feed them at the end. The task of clearing up the park was one of my favourites because you're out there in the park surrounded by elephants for a few hours. It's hard to break it down by hours a day but I certainly felt that we all got enough elephant time and the pictures here are just a fraction of the amount I took during my week there.vegan.in.brightonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022017381983993283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572519749749123334.post-28517631954554014672015-04-16T21:13:52.547+01:002015-04-16T21:13:52.547+01:00Thanks for the info, we are heading there next yea...Thanks for the info, we are heading there next year for the week how much time a day did you get to spend with the elephants?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543652624281320859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572519749749123334.post-36471556458726161752015-03-25T01:51:52.993+00:002015-03-25T01:51:52.993+00:00Thanks so much!

We did get picked up from our hotel but then you go to the office to fill in paperwork anyway so it doesn't really make too much difference. Getting picked up made it extra easy though! The only food based things I needed there were some protein bars to snack on and some crackers, sometimes breakfast wasn't quite filling enough on it's own so I'd supplement it with a Clif bar or some Ritz crackers to spread their homemade PB on. Clothing wise it gets really cold at night so make sure you have warm PJ's or sweatpants and a hoodie. I was also happy I had some full length trousers (just legging in my case but still helpful) and a hat because some of the outdoor tasks involved being out in the sun or wandering through scratchy bushes. Oh and suncream but I assume you're already all over that.

Thanks for the tips of vegan foods! <br /><br />I had a few questions if you don't mind. Did you get picked up from your hotel? Or did you meet at the office?<br /><br />I'm all finished packing- do you have any thing that you found you were in need of while you were there? <br /><br />Thanks!!!
