Today was a fun filled weekend. At about 1:00, My Mom’s coworkers K’tae and Pouton picked us up at drove us to “Tad Lo” where we saw a very beautiful waterfall.
We didn’t expect the water to be flowing very strongly since its not rainy season. But it was actually a pretty raging waterfall nonetheless. After that they drove us to another waterfall where we saw, Elephants!!!
It was amazing actually seeing them in a natural habitat. For lots of people to see Elephant’s they would have to go to a zoo where the animal doesn’t even belong. It was amazing to see the bond they had with the Lao people. I even got to feed one banana and papaya.
After that we went to a little coffee shop and I got a coconut milkshake, it was very delicious. It was amazing seeing the waterfall, and how free the elephants were. A once in a lifetime experience.
*Word of the day: makphav (pronounced: mak-pa), it means coconut

Yes they do. It was very cute, I fed him/her a banana and they can pick those up just by the end of their trunk but then when I fed them a papaya they had to wrap their trunk around it.

Forget the elephants…I want a coconut milkshake!
But really…Elephants! So cool. To see them in nature would be amazing. How old was the one in the picture? Again I’m just a little jealous.
Khwap jai, Taya
