Day 2 : Maesa Elephant Camp

Go to the Orchid and Butterfly Farm and now we are going to Maesa’s Elephant Camp. It’s about half an hour ride from town.

When we arrived there, we were greeted by this 2 jumbo dumbo. You know, the elephant hair very thick, like needle like that.

Don’t really know about the entrance fee, travel agent arranged everything for us already. So we just step in and PLAY.

You can see their King portrait at the entrance there.

Then I bought, bananas and sugar cane for 20baht to feed to elephant.

They so enjoy, can get free food from us.

It’s nose touch me, ew, got mucus/saliva, don’t what is it. HAHAHA.

After feeding, we went to the riverside to see the elephant bath. I can’t get to take the photos of the elephant shitting, you will be surprise as it’s faeces, shit pop up from it’s ass like cannon ball. Worker there actually collect their shit to make papers.

Then we go to the show area to watch the elephant show. I last time saw before elephant show at A’ Famosa, it’s different, this one is more real.

I’ll show you one part of the show where the elephant do free kick like David Beckham. LOL

Why don’t want show you all? It will be spoiler if you are going to Chiang Mai. Don’t want to spoil you. Hehe. Roughly tell you about the show, they blow, they massage, they kick, the draw, they throw.

They can draw very pro, more pro then me. Hehe.

The bad thing is, jumbos needs the worker to help them change the brush color.

For sales, don’t know how much.

Then we went to sit the elephant. You know how much is it? 800baht for a elephant. One elephant can sit 2 person, my dad and mom 1 elephant then me myself one elephant. I am KING. Haha. A bit expensive, cause dad paid 800baht for 1 person. But don’t care la, experience ma.

About half an hour for the elephant ride. Going up and down the little hill. Feeling was like, shaky. Mom always shout “Slow, slow, slow”, when going down steep little hill. But then I think the person don’t know what mama was talking about. Haha.

And then, we went to those useless, boring souvenirs shops, silverware, handicraft, honey, silk, bird nest, blabla. I hate it, if you go with tour sure will go this place. So I think go backpack with some friends will be fun, self tour.

There’s actually more fun things to play near the elephant camp, just that it’s not included in our tour. Got bungee jumping, paintball, gun shooting, snake farm, monkey school. =]
