A private driver from the sanctuary picks up everyone from various hotels before we headed to the elephant sancrtuary.
Our guide led us down to this forested land.
An Introduction of the difference between African and Asian elephants was explained and, a guideline of a health and safety briefing.
After we cut the sugar cane, we filled our buckets and headed over to feed the elephants!The elephants sure did like those sugar cane treats!
We lathered up the elephants with mud to help them cool down and protect them from the sun; it was so hot in Chiang Mai!
Just spending time with the elephants in there natural enviornment was a delight!
The elephant sancatuary relies heavily on tourisim to help feed and support the livelihood of the elpehants and the workers. Without the funds how can they feed their elephants to pay and provide quality care?If you can donate at http://www.bestelephantsanctuarychiangmai.comthey would appreciate it greatly. Thank you.
We rinsed them off as our half-day excurision was coming to an end.
After a great day of activities, we cleaned and showered, and had a delicious lunch buffet!
