Dismounting an Elephant

Accommodating

Thailand, Chiang Mai… 2007

The Thai people love elephants. My guide was as giddy as I was at the prospect of riding an elephant through the jungle at this elephant camp. An elephant camp is a tourist attraction similar to Sea World. Here, tourists can stay for a week or two to help care for and to learn about elephants. What fun!
