Elephas Maximus, the Asiatic Elephant listed as endangered exists in Thailand. The examples we saw today, albeit kept in a controversial way are on display for our amusement. I don’t want to weigh in on any arguments, but at least we get to see these intelligent and amazing animals up close. We set out on rafts down the river ….
Our rafting guides, front and back.
Letting one of the customers steer the raft
Participatory elephant washing
Hauling up the rafts at the end of the journey
Not a natural elephant behaviour but amazing nonetheless!
BTW … The artwork was available for sale … 1000 Thai Baht
Quite an experience!
