Elephant Camp

The second day in Chiang Mai we went about an hour or so out of town to elephant camp. We spent the day learning how to ride, command and bathe our elephants. They gave us these awesome blue outfits to wear, which was good because the bath was more of us swimming in a river of elephant poo. Luckily that was at the end of the day and we could change into our normal clothes quickly after that. We got them all laundered anyway.
