A visit to the Elephant Nature Park, in Chiang Mai, Thailand. 13 November 2022.

 We were very lucky to have visited the elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai.   The elephants are at rest there and so amazingly well looked after.  There was one female elephant who had lost her teeth and to watch her peeling a banana with her trunk was incredible and a privelege.

The sanctury included an ICU unit and the whole reserve was by the river where the elephants were free to roam. 
When the elephants have a birthday, they are treated to a birthday cake which is prepared in the elephant's kitchen.  Also prepared there are the 10 daily meals for elephants !

 After lunch it was time to leave but, we were treated to watching the elephants enjoy the river before we left.


 Despite the 33 degree heat when we arrived in the morning, the elephants still had their blankets on to avoid being cold!
