Please join me in creating a forum to share views of places and people around the world and how our travels can help move us all toward peace. I believe in people more than I believe in governments.

Super WOW. The elephants with O B A M A is an incredible classic. Thank you for sharing this with us (oh, and BTW, thanks for going over there so you could take these pics and share it with us).
At the very bottom of the page that you linked to, are some Videos of Mahout Training Course 25-27 of December. These videos show people riding the elephants, the elephants lying down and getting up, bathing (submerging themselves in river with people on their back, etc) AMAZING. love Larry
Actually, there are at least 4 videos (Vimeo) accessible thru this link. At the very bottom of www.chanthai.com there is a link entitled Archives. If you click on Archives - it brings you to Monthly Archives and then January 2009 and December 2008. Clicking on each of these brings one to whole new set of pictures. The December 08 has Videos (Vimeos) viewable at the bottom, plus clicking on Mahout Training Course 16-18 December (below) has even more videos. Larry
Karen, I posted 27 pics from this site on facebook, with the header being the "obamaphants" What a pic!
What a different world you are in now. I see how the week or so traveling in Thailand was a "cleansing" of the world you left to prepare you for the world of the Mahouts and elephants.
Hey, since I have made the most posts on your blog, do i get an elephant if you bring one home? :)
You really are an ambassador of humanity and a Marco Polo bringing this wonderful insight into another land and world.
It will be hard leaving the elephants. love cuz
