Beautiful pictures of Thai village where Elephants and people live side-by-side
A small village in northeast Thailand has become a popular attraction after beautiful pictures emerged of Elephants and people staying side-by-side.
People who live in the town of Ban Ta Klang in Thailand’s Surin province, keep elephants as domesticated animals, letting them live in their midst as pets, if not members of the family.
Tourism in the area has given the mahouts (those who ride and care for the elephants) a better alternative to the way of life instead of begging on the streets in Thailand’s larger cities.
Check some of the pictures below.
Thai Buddhist monk Phra Khru Samu Harn Panyatharo plays with a baby elephant and its mother at Wat Pa Arjiang temple where the elephant cemetery is located.
Watch the Elephants perform for tourist in the video below.
