Friday morning Ba-Ouwan, P-Kik, P-Yoo, and I rented a car to explore the greater Chiang Mai area for the day. Our first stop was Maetamann Elephant Camp! We signed up for an elephant ride, an ox-cart ride, and a bamboo raft ride. This was every-one's first time on an elephant! I would definitely recommend everyone visiting Chiang Mai to visit one of the elephant camps. It was so much fun. Sadly though, we learned that our bamboo raft driver was only paid 80 Baht per day ($2.40) and that he must work everyday. If he misses one day of work, then he is fined 20 Baht ($0.60).
After elephant camp, we stopped by an orchid and butterfly farm:
For dinner we ate Korean food, which is not as delicious as Thai food. After dinner, we were back at the night bazaar. After more shopping, we visited the "Good View" restaurant for a few drinks.
