From the Teachers

Today was a special day for our students as we visited the Ran-Tong Elephant Camp about an hour outside of Chiang Mai. Students had the opportunity to ride and bathe the elephants, collect sugar cane to feed them, and mix up vitamins for them.

QUOTEABLES:

“Does pad thai have peanuts?”

“How do you say thank you in Thai?” “Danke?”

“Is this mud or poo?”

SUPERSTARS:

Lila Redman and Nicola Weyer – for not being afraid to get their hands dirty mixing up vitamins for the elephants

Jessica Collins – for guiding the whole group back from the markets last night

Ella Malic – for remaining positive after receiving a full face of mud from an elephant’s trunk!

Stay tuned for a full report on our very special elephant experience from Conor and Braden.
