Elephant mud bath

One of the things I really wanted to do in Thailand was to go to an elephant sanctuary. I had seen pictures of other people doing this and I was determined to do it. Luckily for me I was heading to Chaing Mai anyway and this area is known for its elephant sanctuaries. The break down is. Interact with the elephants, touch and talk to, play with etc. Next feed them bananas, can put directly into the mouth and the elephants really like this. Then you make a vitamin bowl to feed them, this is a mixture of various fruits into a mush which you feed them. Next is the most fun, mud bath and cleaning. Get in a mud pool and get dirty! Splash mud and clean them down. The elephants REALLY enjoyed this part a lot. You can also buy some products made from elephant dung. The costs involved here are extraordinarily high, and they get no government funding, so please help. #timetotravel #thailand #nature #animals #asia
