Elephants and orchids

If you would like to see how they handle their elephants and how they work, you must take a trip to one of the many elephant farms. It was very interesting, and the show they performed was very good. Afterwards you take a long ride on their back, and continue home by ox-chart

Orchids are beautiful flowers, and can be seen here too. We arrived 10 minutes too early, because the rain was pouring down, but ended after ten minutes. But we did not see many butterflies in the park because of the rain.
