Morning bath time

Chiang Dao Elephant Camp

Northern Thailand, 2002

Most tourbooks agree, the elephant camp at Chiang Dao is a must see. Morning is best. You can watch the elephants take their bath in the river, before they go to "work".

Since logging of the rainforest has been banned in Thailand, these elphants have been unemployed. Were it not for the tourism value of demonstrating their skills, these long-lived animals would have a difficult existence. They put on several shows a day and offer jungle rides as well.
