    Khao Kiew Open Zoo in the eastern Thai province of Chon Buri opened its first “Swimming Elephant Show” today (Feb 8, 2021).


    An 18-year-old elephant will display its swimming skills and walk on its two hind legs in the pool that is four metres high and 30 metres wide, according to the Thai-language daily Khao Sod.


    Tourists can see the elephant in motion through a wide water-resistant mirror.


    There will also be a parade of 40 penguins. Tourists can see giraffes, zebras, a white rhino and hippos up close every day.


    For more information, call 038-318444.

    Speaking of elephant shows.....

    Several years ago I visited an elephant show in a zoo slightly west and north of Bangkok, I can't remember the name. The trainers were in the middle of displaying all physical skills of which an elephant is capable when suddenly a large male elephant came charging out of nowhere and slid his remarkable three foot cock into the performer. I don't think this was an intentional thing as all the students were encouraged to avert their eyeballs.(middle school folks). One of the funnier experiences I had over there. I was just reminded. Do carry on.
    A true diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a manner that you will be asking for directions.
