Thailand - day 5

Today was the best morning ever ever ever. We got collected from our hostel at 6am and got in a tuktuk with a few other people! Drove for about 2 hours into the jungle and eventually arrived at Chiang Mai elephant sanctuary. It was honestly incredible, the elephants have this huge huge area of jungle which they freely roam in and the staff are soooo nice. We started off putting on these funny tops as then headed to meet all the girls (elephants) lol. They were absolutely beautiful and so so calm. We fed them bananas, gave them hugs by holding the banana behind them and they wrapped their trunks round us, and even played games with them!! It was incredible. After this we went to a mud bath and literally had a mud bath with all the elephants. We scrubbed them down and ended up getting covered in mud especially me because I was having a mud fight with one of the local boys who worked there lol. Was soooo fun! After this we took the elephants down to the creek where we washed them (& ourselves) and they sprayed water EVERYWHERE hahah! Was so cute. Following this we headed to a waterfall to properly wash off and ended up buying some jewellery from a local jungle lady. Had a huge buffet lunch and then waved goodbye to the elephants at about 2pm! Was the best day everrr!! We then had a nap in our room and went on the bodega bar crawl again this night! Was so fun and met so many good people - even bumped into some friends from Laos! Another late one lol about 4am!Read more
