66. Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai & Golden Triangle, Thailand / Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai & Złoty Trójkąt, Tajlandia

Golden Triangle is a place where illegal growth and  trade of opium was taking place in the past. It's the place where Thailand, Myanmar and Laos meet. / Złoty Trójkąt to miejsce, gdzie w przeszłości uprawiano i sprzedawano nielegalny opium. Jest to miejsce, gdzie spotykają się państwa Tajlandii, Myanmar (Birmy) oraz Laosu.

Northern Thailand is so much different from the south islands in many aspects. First of all, climate is slightly different. You are surrounded by hills and mountains therefore the whole area is more prone to rain. The air is less humid.

65. Elephant Nature Park, Chiang Mai, Thailand / Elephant Nature Park, Chiang Mai, Tajlandia


Lek Chailert is the lady initiated setting up the sanctuary for rescued animals and is responsible for teaching mahouts (elephant trainers) how to care for them without the use of hook and fear. /  Lek Chailert to kobieta, która wyszła z ideą otwarcia sanktuarium dla zwierząt i jest uczy poganiaczy słoni, jak się słońmi opiekować bez użycia haka i bez zastraszania.

Elephant Nature Park outside Chiang Mai (northern Thailand) is the first sanctuary ever opened of its kind in Thailand. It has been opened few years ago and is a home and rehabilitation centre for elephants. At the time of our visit there were 45 elephants living here.
