Day 4: - Elephants!

This morning we had an appointment with the elephants! We woke up early and finished our breakfast. Our destination today is "Lampang Elephant Conservation Center". We left early in the morning, it took about an hour to be there.  We jumped on a tram in the center and this sent us in front of the elephant bathing show, just before the show started!

We have some time to feed them with bananas and corns before they started bathing. When we finished feeding them, its time to move to see them washed -  it was a lovely time and we were also got a chance to take a close up photo and they walked out of water just right in front of us!

After the elephant bath we've moved to see the show and saw them paint, very impressive. In the show, we've saw how intelligent of the elephant, how they were related with human in the old day.

Then it was lunch time & the food came out not long time after we had ordered... umm yumm!

We had finished our lunch quick then we walked up to see the elephant dung factory, here they make the paper from the elephant dung in this center. After we bought some souvenirs back from the factory then we took a truck to our homestay which was our accommodation for this night.

After an hour we had a stop at the hot spring near by the homestay. At hot spring, some of us had put themselves in the pool where the hot spring water was transfer to this pool and many pools around this area. About 15 minutes later most of us moved to have a massage next to the pool.  Not only the pool for people to swim and put their feet in there were also very hot pool where was hot enough to boil the eggs as well!

Then it was of to our homestay which was only 10 mins away. We were arrived at homestay at about 5.30 pm and not too long after we had arrived then its time for dinner. Today we had a very nice meal along with the norther Thai music show.

 As soon as we finished our lovely meal, the musicians taught us how to play and gave us each a  different instrument and asked us to follow up with a few shows outside. Such a great day & night.
