Clever elephant tricks, including soccer, dart throwing, and painting. We were one of few that paid extra for a worthwhile elephant ride. We also bought 3 elephant paintings of leafy, flowering branches, that are very good. We hope to improve on our total outlay of 3,000BHT when we sell them on eBay! What made it a great day was a bonus visit to a long-neck women tribal village, not far from the elephant camp.

The programme was OK, but the time at the orchid farm was very short. The guide's knowledge was poor.
