Mae Sa Elephant Camp

We went to Mae Sa Elephant Camp to ride try an elephant ride and see the show. Elephant used to be used to help cultivate the land in Thailand, among other things, but now they are mainly used for tourism or left alone to roam in nature at conservatories. After a couple months in the country we still hadn't taken the obligatory elephant ride so we headed up north a half hour to the countryside to check out the camp. We got to see a nursery, the trainers giving the them a bath (they loved it- playing around and splashing each other), and a show. Who knew elephants were so coordinated? The ride was fun and the scenery was gorgeous!
