Chaing Mai Tours

Todays tour starts with the Orchid Farm. These plants hang from wire and NO DIRT ! The plants are only watered by mist twice a day
Mae Sa Elephant Park is one of the oldest in Thailand and is opened for tourists as an Elephant preservation park. Unfortunately it costs a great deal to feed these beautiful animals so they can only house 75 elephants. The "show" is fabulous and always well attended. Soccer anyone???
Artists at work. These pictures would sold for Big Bucks !!!
Elephants were always used for very heavy work in Thailand, especially in the forests. Amazing what they can move .
Every country has a Butterfly Park.
