I love elephants

Ann with friends at the Samphran Elephant Ground and Zoo outside Bangkok in October 2008. She told me she would like to have an elephant as a pet, but it is too big for her apartment! Just as well.

Poor bunny

Rabbit at the Samphran Elephant Ground and Zoo outside Bangkok in October 2008. This was one of several rabbits Ann donated to the zoo when they got too big to look after on her property. She was very upset to see the conditions they were being kept in and how neglected and unkempt they looked.

crocodiles

Market research

These pretty young ladies were part of a group of university students conducting a survey of foreign visitors at the Samphran Elephant Ground and Zoo outside Bangkok in October 2008. I agreed to participate provided I could take their photos. I then used the opportunity to complain about the dual pricing scheme in operation there. 20 Baht entry for Thais, 500 Baht for me!

Tiger!
