2006 10 Thailand & Cambodia – Day 18

A large selection of perfume is available for purchase

On our way to an elephant camp north of Chiang Mai

We are seated and waiting for the elephant show to start.

This elephant has an amazing talent

This elephant apparently draws the same picture at every show from memory. It must of taken some time for her to learn this.

This painting was for sale after the show for $60 USD.

We are taken by Ox and cart to some more shops.

Other groups are on the elephant ride part of the tour.

Similiar to the cart I'm on right now.

Many carts in the area ready to take tourists on a ride.

You can see the feeding stations for the elephants. The tourists have to pay for the food they want the elephant to have.

Our group have finished walking through the shops and we're on the elephants. We are heading down to the river where we'll be stopping for lunch.

Unloading station

It was a great place to have a delicious lunch, well done!

The start of our river rafting excursion.

No life jackets available.

Not much to the raft, just a bunch of bamboo tied together.

We stop at a monkey school on our way back to Chiang Mai.
