Elephants

Before we left Ayuthaya we bumped into dozen of elephants..
They waited by the road to be transported by a (strong!) lorry to their Kraal just outside the city. 
There are only 4000 domestic and wild animals in Thailand and the Elephant Stay in Ayuthaya runs a hugely successful breeding program and provides tourist rides around the ruins as well as runs (3 days minimum) stays where visitors learn how to ride, bathe and earn the trust the elephants. Sadly we decided to move on the tandem instead
