Well not quite like ANY other day. Today Dadda finally held up his word and delivered on his promises of seeing real elephants...
Oooohhh wwwwoooooooooooooowww! There are sooo many... feeee...fooooo....faiiii.....!!!! (3, 4, 5)
They even gave me a special little boy elephant outfit to go and see them really close up! Andiamo andiamo!!
I didn't realise elephants are just like me! They feed off bananas exactly like I do!! Look how many bananas we can get through... yummy! Sounds like we're going to have a great lunch today!!
So off we went to feed the elephants starting off with the smallest one in the year... this one is 2 years old like me!!! Wow, how many elephants have you been eating?? Your nose is soooo much bigger than mine and I sure can't pick up bananas without using my hands!
Then came the scary bit... sitting on the biggest elephant of the lot with Dadda!! Not sure this is for me just yet... I'm a bit scared of heights!
Back down on the ground level (or just about) the 2 year old elephant tried socialising and letting me know that elephants have hearts and are lovely animals too if they are treated nicely and particularly if you are carrying bananas with you! Here is the little one hugging me and showing his affection though deep inside I know he just wanted my bananas!
As always the whole equipe of staff were lovely and caring for me in everything I did...
Baan Chang Elephant Camp was a fantastic experience and one I would recommend to everybody!!
I want to come back here when I am ready to ride and bath elephants like Dadda myself!
This camp was very good with their elephants unlike many others in the region that exploit territories and the animals themselves for tourism and all the money they can make.
Here animals come first and the people we spent the day with very much embraced such values and motto from dawn until dusk. A wonderful experience!!!
Look at this one my friends and tell me if you don't agree this elephant is happy and chuckling away and laughing with me!!
