Elephants

We rose early today to visit one of the sites where they preserve this marvelous animal.  It was amazing to ride one and then to see how they are trained and cared for.

A quick stop at an orchid farm.

Then we stopped at a tribal village where a number of tribes from different backgrounds have bonded together to preserve their lifestyle and make a living at the same time.  They had many beautiful items that are made by hand.  They were threshing rice this day.
