Elephants!


On Thursday June 11, after the Summer Palace, we went to see the elephants near Ayuthya. For many this was the highlight of the trip! We fed the elephants cucumbers and milk, and posed for a few pictures with this adorable baby elephant.



Then it was time for our trek on the elephants around the ancient city of Ayuthya. Just a 30 minute bumpy ride. Most aren't ready to trade in their cars for an elephant, but had a lot of fun riding them. They are amazing animals. We are grateful to know this particular elephant camp appears to be responsible in taking good care of the elephants and is involved in environmental work to protect and preserve the elephant populations in Thailand.
