Elephant experience! We love elephants, especially Barbara who loves any animal she comes into contact with.

And we really wanted to hang out with some elephants while we were here, so we did some research to find a place where they weren't mistreated or made to do tricks or forced to give rides to people. A lot of elephants get mistreated in this area as most of them are domestic and it costs a lot to feed and care for them. We really didn't want to support a company that mistreated the animals, and we did want our money to go into looking after them so at the place we chose we spent half a day feeding and giving the elephants a mud bath. No riding, no tricks.
It was awesome. Elephants are surprisingly playful, like enormous dogs who think they are cats.
The rest of our day was spent back in Chiang Mai, engaging in battle and getting rained on.
