This week, we finally got around to visiting Kuala Gandah National Elephant Conservation Centre. It's been on our to-do list ever since we got here, but what with wanting to avoid the crowds there at weekends, and Alex being at work weekdays, it just hadn't happened. So Alex booked a day off work, and off we went!
We had a great time. We hand-fed some baby and injured elephants, kept in enclosures, with peanuts; and also fed some much bigger elephants with fruit - no space between us this time. Just look at this photo - no zoom lens needed, I really was that close!
We also got to ride on them:
And Will braved the muddy river to bathe with them!
We had a great time - we all love elephants, and it was wonderful to get the chance to be up close and personal with them.

You are so lucky. I wanted to ride on the elephants in Chaing Mai but wasn't well, Simon did though.
