My favorite & long lasting vision

from Thailand was in an elephant

camp in the hills above Chiang

Mai (where Ray MacMahon spends

half of each year) where a tiny

old lady tourist had a stalk of

tiny bananas & was tearing them

off 1 at a time for a very big

& very patient ivoried male who

was obviosly well trained to be

around such idiots

Another wonder was in the Dusit

Zoo in Bangkok where the Kings

elephants (at their pleasure)

are kept in an elegant temple

like structure that is open on

all sides where they can march

out on their own set schedule

down a public path to the lake

They then can enjoy some water

sports before returning unaided

back to their comfortable house

Quite a sight to behold

I have lived in Chiang Mai for the past 2 years.
Not uncommon to see elephants walking on the side of a busy road with mahut firmly on its head.

Are you working there Dennis

or is this your retirement home

Is the bottle walk bridge in your

photo Dennis a redo of the one I

designed & built for Charly or a

similar copy of it

I'm retired. Thailand has no Winters. Nuff said ?
The bottle walk was built in Hugo. Built to last on a mud show. When I started presenting the show cats I could barely lift it.
