Elephants are a part of Thai tradition, life and
culture. Near Chiang Mai there is an elephant camp where the elephants are
looked after where tourists can come and visit them. In other places you can
see the elephants in their natural environment. Phuket and Pattaya are both
popular places for tourists to go to where they can enjoy riding on elephants.
Children love this experience of riding on elephants.
Elephants are beautiful gentle creatures. Our
advice is to wear comfortable clothing because after riding them for sometime
you can become uncomfortable. Ask if you are going to go down to the river you
might need comfortable shoes to protect your feet.
The keepers of the elephants are called Mahouts.
The difference between African and Thai elephants is the size of their ears.
Asian elephants have smaller ears and in general smaller. Their skin is
smoother as well.
