Project Jumbo Day 1

1 April 08, Day 1.

Actually first day nothing much.

Upon reaching Chiang Mai Airport, the staff from ENP came and fetch us.
First we went to the main office in the city to collect our T-shirt and settle some admistrative stuff. Then we went to the wholesale market in the city to upload elephant's food to the truck.
It's a TRUCKLOAD full of food! For 33 elephants. And that's only for ONE MEAL.

Bumpy 1.5hr ride to ENP from the city...
The first thing we did was to have our lunch upon arriving.
Our meals is all buffet style...no wonder I didn lose any weight despite workin under hot sun everyday...
After lunch, we tour-ed ard ENP, lead by Janna, a volunteer coordinater there.
Feeding, bathing of elephants.
Learning of Thai language & elephant song taught by Pom at night.
Didnt do any chores on the first day.
Before boarding the plane...
