Next stop was the Elephant sanctuary near Lampang where elephants rescued from the logging industry were kept. First we saw them take a bath (above) then they put on a show showing off the skills they'd learned including how to stack logs and bow when their name is announced.
One of them can even put a hat on it's keeper.
We also got to watch two of the elephants paint pictures, they were no picaso but priced like they were.
We had a nice but relaxing ride on the back of the an elephant, we got tossed about especially when they went downhill.
After that we went to the Elephant hospital and saw the elephants that had been rescued from the Burmese border where they'd been used for illegal logging until they'd stood on a landmine and had their foot blown off, bit they were making it through and were so sweet.
