Once settled in at our hotel in Chiang Mai we emailed Pan, a contact of a La Tranche friend, and organised a three day tour of northern Thailand. So next morning, Pan and his driver Andy transported us to our first destination: Chiang Dao Elephant Centre.
A very wobbly rope bridge... |
...with views over elephants making their way back from a wash in the river |
Bamboo bark that most constructions are made of |
Onto the display where the elephants all seemed to be well-treated... |
...and happy to show off their logging skills |
Each elephant has his personal 'mahout' |
One even showed off his artistic skills |
Traditional bags for sale... |
...a beautiful little girl... |
...and wild orchids in the trees |
