While Michael was nursing his cooking class induced wounds back at the
hotel, I went off to experience the Thai Elephant Conservation Center,
one of several elephant zoos in the hills around Chiang Mai. I got a
chance to watch about 10 of the elephants of varying ages take their
morning bath in the lake. After that, it was time for the elephant
show, where the animals displayed their skills in log rolling,
xylophone playing and even painting (the results of which are
available for purchase in the gift shop). The highlight of the
excursion was definitely the hour-long elephant ride--through lakes,
hills, and narrow trails--on the grounds in the beautiful Northern
Thailand hills.
