Train trip, chilling to Khun Tan Lonely, we took the third-class train to walk around Doi Khun Tan. Khun Tan is beautiful, the weather is good. The trip ended at 5 am this morning. For those who don't have a place to go this Saturday and Sunday, I think Khun Tan is the best. But I went on a weekday when there were no people. I like it very much. It's quiet. I reserved the whole pine tree to sleep. I slept comfortably listening to the birds and trees all night. At first, I thought I would go for a one-night trip, but I ended up staying for two. Actually, I could have stayed longer if nothing else was wrong. It's a shame I had to work at my volunteer camp. Huhuhu. But it's not boring at all. I like the peaceful atmosphere. I like the smell of trees, the smell of soil, and the smell of air without pollution. It's refreshing when I wake up in the morning and take a deep breath. Hehe. The way up is easy to walk like walking to the market. The waterfall is beautiful, but the water level is a bit low. Overall, I like it. #TravelThailand #Hiking #TravelLampang #DoiKhunTan

#0yentripautumn The third trip to the Thai Elephant Conservation Center in 2024 This time, I took Thai Airways to Bangkok, then AirAsia to Chiang Mai, where my darling, a staff member at the Thai Elephant Conservation Center, came to pick me up by car. It was about an hour and 80 km by car. For breakfast, I had a lot of homemade glutinous rice from my friendly mahout (elephant trainer), side dishes I bought, porridge from my homestay, and side dishes I bought myself! We even had the leftovers for lunch (lol) Our beloved orphaned elephant, Bunlong, is 15 years old, and it's sad that his tusks have gotten so long that we can't get close without a fence You can see the elephants bathing twice a day, and for 50 baht (about 200 yen), you buy two elephant food sets each time and give them to the tip of the elephant's trunk, and some elephants even open their mouths When bathing, the elephants blow water from their trunks Water often comes over us and we get wet It's hot in Thailand, so it's lucky to be able to bathe (lol) #ThailandElephantConservationCenter

Excellent quiet and peaceful place to interact with elephant. Deep in there environment where we can know what they are able to do as their skills are advanced in order to show our interest.
