Mae Sa Elephant Camp

Last month John and Michelle Bell (from Wauchope) came to visit us here in Chiang Mai. It was really great to see them and have some Australian company for a couple of days!
We took them to the Mae Sa Elephant Camp, north of Chiang Mai. It's one of my favourite places (and when you come to visit us we can get you in for free!)

The highlight of the visit is the elephant show where you get to see the elephants parading...

...painting...
...playing soccer...
and much more! (come and you will see...)
The mahouts are mostly Karen (and therefore mostly Victor's cousins.) It's one mahout and one elephant for life. Their relationship is beautiful.

I can't believe that the elephants can paint!
