Elephants this is one of the icons of Thailand. Elephants this is one of the icons of Thailand. If you visit Thailand, you will be able to see a lot of souvenirs in elephants crafts. From carved woods to stuffed key chains. If you are lucky enough, you may have a close encounter with them in the street. These elephants don’t roam by themselves because they have handlers. Have you had an encounter with animals like elephants?
yes, I have another photo from a different time. The elephant was helping to lift the logs. so amazing.
Thanks, both of us, right? or just the baby elephant? ☹
I’ve seen one in the zoo. But wasn’t able to touch it. I want to reach Thailand too. Nice photo!
Thanks, Thailand is not difficult to reach. We have free visa on arrival here for 30 days.
I love elephants! They always remind me of good luck! 😀
So true they means good luck. I love giving away something in elephant form
my friend, i’m theend. Do you miss me
Oh “theend” in the other fence?
I met my friend with an elephant only in the zoo
Wow so how many elephants does he have?
I have seen them in zoos. And there is an elephant sanctuary nearby that has a lot of the old circus elephants. A great place to visit.
Actually I realized that those using elephants for circus and zoos are not good. They have to be free.
The closest I have got to a elephant was at a circus when I was a child, but other than that I have not been near any lately as an adult.
I have not met an elephant yet
You will see one, family or a group of elephants if you are lucky enough.
I like to read travel blogs. They say that the only true wealth is how many languages you speak and how many countries have gone in your life.
Well, for me, I really like travelling, if I have the means and if will be allowed why not. but you know our passport is very rigid, we cant just go anywhere.
Wicker is the best property – quote by Sokrat, Aristotel or Platon, lol.
I’ve only been up close to an elephant once that I remember. It was a long, long time ago. You’re lucky to be able to see them way, in the street. Do you see them in the street like that very often? I think that’s exciting.
Yes, one time I was in the bus terminal and saw big elephant, but of course with the handler again.
You’ve charmed an elephant? I didn’t know they were susceptible to feminine wiles…
Thanks, this elephant is really a tamed one. It is just too sad that she’s a captive, she could be free in the forest.
yeah, considering how intelligent they are. It isn’t like keeping a cow captive…
Yes, sometimes I wonder if they are lucky to be captured because they are fed and bathe or it will ok in the wilderness, when they have the chance of meeting poachers for their trunks.
I was thinking the same thing, but didn’t want to bring it up
Ah, I already guessed that you are from South-East Asian, at least Asia, and it turns out that you are a Thai (but sorry if I guessed wrong) so we are neighbors.
Yes, I know that elephants are Thai icons. My father used to bring home various souvenirs in the form of elephant statues (My father had served as a military attaché staff in Myanmar and Thailand). I like such statues!
I am not Thai but it’s okay. Anyway, yes they said the elephants bring good luck.
