Good nursery but with human greed

The Elephant Orphanage is a great and interesting place to touch the giants and ride on their thick and powerful skin.

You can buy bananas on the spot (100 rupees) and treat the elephant (you can buy in advance BEFORE the trip, many times cheaper and more).

The only thing I didn’t like very much is that they can literally take your phone away from you and start taking pictures of you, filming you (supposedly out of kindness of heart), accompanied by a driver and a “photographer”, then they lead you into a thicket away from all tourists and beg for money: " One thousand, two, three, nine thousand give. And each separately. If you give 1000 rupees for two in one bill, they will say OK, then separately someone else will ask, "You gave him the money, but give it to me. "

I present one of them in all its glory in the photo, because it's a shame. We are not greedy, but impudence is no good.

So in a circle with all the tourists.
