It’s a day with the elephants!
We were fetched by the van around 9am. We traveled for less than an hour to Samphran Elephant Zoo. The zoo is located at the west of Bangkok in Nakhon Pathom Province.
Immediately after we arrived, our guide claimed our tickets. We paid around THB 450 for the ticket and transfers.

Every opportunity that we get to buy Thai iced tea, we never missed it. But the Thai iced tea in Chatuchak was still the best.

The elephant show started in an hour so we toured around the zoo first and had some photo ops with the elephants. I was surprised to know that they actually have thick black hair which you can only notice if you look at them closely.

The show finally started with a magic show. Then, the elephants paraded one by one. They re-enacted the history of Thailand. There was also a scene called Yutha Hathi which is a great royal battle where the actors fought each other while riding the elephants.

The most fun part of the show was when they played football and danced.

We had the chance to feed them and take pictures with them.

| Love 'em, feed 'em |
We didn’t watch anymore the wrestling show anymore because the people were crowding the area. The wrestling show featured a crocodile and a catcher performing many different stunts.

Around 1pm, we headed back to Bangkok for our next activity. Shopping!
