Day 17 in Thai

After brek we went for and ‘elephant walk’. Showed us round the elephants and told us each of their stories.

A lot have broken legs from logging, or a bad foot from stepping on a land mine. Some have gone blind from all the spotlights and camera flashes in the circus.

Most have scars round their ankles from where they were tied up and the rope would cut into their flesh.

A few got saved from the wild after they got caught in a trap.

Some still have to be kept separate as they’re aggressive and still crazy from how they were treated before.

Just across the other side of the river there is a different camp where you can see people riding elephants 😠

After lunch was ‘elephant kitchen’, first up throwing bananas down a production line into storage. Then peeling corn before we could feed the Ellie’s 😊😊😊 places banans right in their trunk 😌

Went back for some more dog walking and got to walk 4 month old Mario, the cutest ever 😍 unfort he’s already been adopted 💔

After din was a Thai culture lesson where they told us about the royal family, monks, dress, food etc
