The Jungle Twins

A Mother’s Watchful Eye

Ran back under mommas’ leg but Mr. Maearhae’s kept after her.· Momma seemed to ignore it all and when I went up to her shoulder, the baby came out and started bumping me, too!· Baby elephants are pretty strong.

Sadly, it was time to go.

The next day I flew back to America but along the flight kept thinking how fun that trip was.· The entire roundtrip was 246 miles from Chiang Mai, though if you don’t get lost like we did, you can probably do it in less than 200 miles and you’ll need about 10 hours.· My Thai guide has a nice 4-wheel drive and his nickname is “Paul.”· (All Thais have a nickname.)· His English is good and you can reach him at:

It’s far better to see the elephants living in the jungle than walking around some town begging for bananas.· The closer people get to elephants, the more they’ll want to protect them.
