Chiang Mai Elephants ride to the village of Long Neck Girls and Other Tribes of Thailand - 45 photos shot with Canon 5D MKII
Elephant show - Camp Maesa, Chiang Mai, Thailand
The Maesa Elephant Camp is probably one of the most famous of Thailand to see elephants making fantastic creative show, with the opportunity to touch, feed and ride them after! I must admit this was one of the main reason my wife wanted to go to Thailand! The show is stunning, and it’s impressive to see how well they paint (you can purchase the paint separately later!), they play sport and dance all together. They really look to be having fun, so it’s pretty nice… especially when you give them food at the end and they scream loud! The Maesa camp is located in the mountains of the region of Chiang Mai, which is a very beautiful place of Thailand.
Elephant ride to the village of Long Neck Girls and other tribes of Thailand
The ride is quite bumpy, but after 45 minutes, you arrive in a very nice place in the jungle, where you have 7 or 8 tribes of Thailand and the Asian region which are living here (definitely done for tourist purposes!). You can see the famous Long Neck Girls, which are really all beautiful and graceful. At same time, you can also purchase few souvenirs. This trip is probably one of the most impressive you can do in Thailand, and you see really kind and beautiful people which are still living very traditionally.
All photos shot with Canon EOS 5D MKII and with Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L II USM and 24-70mm 2.8 L USM.
