Mo Chiang Mai

We were completely caught in between adventure and relaxation, so we had no time for the blog. But here we are again. So our next stop after Bangkok was the Northern part of Thailand, city of Chiang Mai, where we spent our next 4 days.We were looking for a combination of culture and adventure at one, and we started from the elephant training camp. Northen Thailand is considered to be the center of elephant farms and we couldn't resist. During our day with elephant we learned to be the "mahouts"-ones who take care of elephants, were feeding them, washing them, learning to ride them etc. The bonding was strong! hope the camp takes good care of them. Note: thai elephants are significantly smaller than African ones, their life lengths is similar to humans, they are very smart and have an excellent memory, so when feeding them don't favor anyone, and give everyone equally, otherwise beware of being boxed!! :) Don't worry it didn't happen to us :)
