Now normally you would probably have to pay to enter Ayutthayas Elephant kraal, but not if you are with Ken May and sneak in by boat, it's just a quick trip down the Lopuri River.
You can also stay here if you want as they have accomodation for you to live in and then you get to look after your own personal Elephant, although to my mind the prices seem a bit high.
Here they teach the Elephants how to play football and some other tricks that they will need in later life to entertain us humans with their antics.Package: 1 PERSON:

Angry Elephant? or one that has just learned a new trick?

Although access by the river might be more exiting, there is an easy way to get there via the road, and it is perhaps a little sneaky too. This, if it is the place I have in mind, I don't think there are several in Town anyway.
I saw a report once on Animal Planet or Discovery where African elephants payed hommage to their ancestors by recognizing their skulls and touching/caressing them with their trunks.
Football: now you know why Thailand was not part of the world cup - the IFA could not provide proper shoe size and uniforms.
I saw a couple of the beasts mate once and took pictures. It's interessting, might inspire a few sikos (no, not me, too big ass and pussy to my taste).
Strange, I never noticed the tusks hanging at that house although I go there regularly. Will have a better look next time.
And thanks for finding back my SLK.
