| Of couse your take bananas when you go to visit elephants. 30 kilos are peanuts, they eat at least 300 kilos per day! |
 |
| After feeding you can play with them. It takes a couple of years to train them and you start from the age of 3. Most live to be around 90 years, but they could even be as old as 130 years! They start working at 6 and go to retirement at 60. Think twice before you buy one! |

| I saw the baby elephant playing in the sand after bathing. Elephants like to be "dirty" to protect them from insects and the heat. |
 |
| It looks nice to sit on an elephant´s back, but to be the second "passenger" you need to have a big bottom, not to feel every movement. |
 |
| Bathing the elephant is great fun! Now your know why we had a special uniform?! It gets wet at the end of the day :-) |

| Greetings from Chiang Mai! Until next time! |

Danke Udo und Uwe. Der Kunst wird, alle die frische, schöne Zutaten in Europa zu kriegen... Hier ist "nur" 15 Grad morgens (gut für Spaziergänge, wie jetzt um 7 Uhr morgens), aber später wird es 30 Grad.
