Elephant show...

One of the outings during my stay in Thailand was a trip to an Elephant Camp. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but we ended up seeing an elephant show first. Did you know that elephants can paint? play football? and give massages? Well, I too was surprised. It was great seeing the elephants paint (although their owners did put the paint on the brushes). The most surprising of all was that while most elephants painted similar paintings of trees, there was one elephant that made a special Valentines painting, seeing as it was Valentines Day. I wonder how they got that message across to him?! I was impressed. And believe it or not these paintings were selling for $55 each! After the show we enjoyed an elephant ride. Although it was all pretty touristy, it was a lot of fun.
