Mae Sa Elephant Camp

This morning we got up at the crack of dawn in order to catch the early show at the highly recommended Mae Sa Elephant camp. It was an excellent deal at the equivalent of about 3-4 USD per person. We were apparently the only one’s ambitious enough to attend the early show which was great because we got all the attention! Highly recommended if you ever visit the Chiang Mai area! First off, these elephants appear to be healthy, happy, treated kindly, and well taken care of which is all a must before we pay money to see animals in captivity. They are so healthy and happy in fact that one or two babies seem to pop up every year or so! Here they have elephants of all ages, sexes, and sizes that you can get up close and personal with and watch them do some pretty amazing tricks such as, play soccer, throw darts, dance, paint pictures, and bow after their performance! Here, Roger was entered into a dart throwing contest(by default) against Sedor “the elephant” and was almost beaten! It was a really fun time!!!!
