we are lucky to get some fantastic eats on tour :)

We're not "friends" really...only the trainers and riders get to have close interactions with the elephants. Although it's good to remember that elephants are incredibly strong and could definitely hurt you if they wanted to, in general there's no reason to be afraid. Elephants are very gentle animals, and don't WANT to hurt anything!

Siam is definitely one of the friendlier, more approachable elephants. She's also a little slow (one leg is shorter than the others) so she's always at the back of the herd. So the band sees a lot of her :)
