We know and understand so little of the animal kingdom...k so that is why mine is hobbled...she likes to run....but what is the use....if they want they just break the chains or rip the tree out that they are tied too....all of them have done it at some point...pretty funny....I think they just put up with mahouts ...

... a tree......absofreakinlutly covered in dirt......can't blame her as I notice a plague of flies swarming right about the area I sit...yayyyyyyy for me. So in a cool way we unchain her and again she is hobbled so we unhobble her and she drags the chain out of the jungle and folds it up (it is really cool to watch her do it...I got some video) and we load her up with it....and I shout "Mai Long!!!" and she lays down and we try to beat the mud off her....no problem...she ...

... fat elephant and he will kick your ass...... Now my gal was plenty big... and I was not going to call her fat for obvious reasons. Pung Kwat was her name and my mahout was...lungajlajsdhfoyuhl....or something like that I will call him Bob from now on. She was about 4 or 5 tonnes....I not quite the same....my mahout was a short guy and about 1/3 my weight...he started babbling at the big gal and she did exactly what he wanted her to do....not sure if these ...

... were staying where we were entertained by a group of young boys jumping from the bridge into the river...having to dodge wires, cables and other obstacles in the process! From Sukhothai we headed to Ayutthaya - a 6 hour bus journey. We spent half a day in Ayutthaya and rented bikes again (why oh why?!) and headed out to see the city. Ayutthaya is known for their large number of wild dogs and they were certainly apparent & territorial! A couple of times we had ...

... elephants was on hand for our one day course yesterday. I feel very lucky that we had the chance to participate in the ceremony to bless and show respect for the elephants, and to learn about the elephants and the program at TECC from Prahsop! Most of you know that I returned to TECC to bring Ellen to the elephants and to the program I so loved, 2 years ago. I became part of the TECC Mahout family in December ...

... next town, much to the amazement of all the townspeople. We thought we were going to have to walk the whole way, but about 2k in, a couple in a truck pulled over and offered us a ride all the way back to the bus station. When we got to the station, the girl asked us for our e-mail addresses, explaining that she was studying to be an English teacher. We gave her our ...

... were full. We said we would stand and were sold a ticket. Once on the bus, we discovered that they had done the same for about 40 other people as well. We were crammed into the aisle like sardines, where we stood, unable to move, for 2 hours. We only thought the train was bad - the bus was so much worse. We spent the evening in Lampang, walking around the Walking Street Market and taking in small-town

... the next few days we passed lots of nice looking places nearby our place, but down different alleys I didn't go down at the time. It wasn't a problem and our guesthouse, Bow Chiang Mai was very nice, clean and quiet and with lovely staff. We had a tv too although it didn't have the full range of channels which would become a shame as the week progressed. Having arrived from Vientiane to Bangkok on Friday morning the flights leaving then were too expensive but a bargain flight with ...

... managment at your guest house won't spring for anything more than vinyl wrapped 1/16" woven stainless cable rated to 80lbs. Small spaces, door ways that don't clear 6', shower heads at bicep level...I was not in mind when they designed this place. I'm not sure anthing was in mind when they designed this place.
