Elephant is considered as the symbol of Thailand; therefore, it has been so much cared and loved by all the people throughout Thailand. Thai people regarded elephant as a symbol of Thailand not because it is huge and cute but because it is the powerful machine in ancient warfare and logging.
However, as time passes, things are now change and different today. For now, elephants have been trained by mahouts for entertainment purpose such as drawing, playing basketball and football, etc.
In the lush tropical jungle of Chiang Mai's Maesa Valley , a big family of elephants lives side by side with their mahout caretakers. "Maesa Elephant Camp" is home to one of the largest assembly of elephants in the north of Thailand. It is to create a natural and healthy environment for the elephants while working to conserve and breed them, due to the dwindling number of Asian elephants left in the wild.
Here, there is also elephant showcase which can draw laugh and smile from all the visitors. Elephant showcase and talent shows take place everyday at 8.00 AM, 9.40 AM and 01.30 PM. Visitors are invited to ride on the back of an elephant that will take you through the jungle and across the river. It is totally an amazing and memorable experience that all the travelers who come to Thailand should have an opportunity to see it.
