Grief for the elephant too, as the pineapples cause intoxication and just being there puts them at risk of being shot, electrocuted, poisoned or maimed.

8. Elephant Trek in Chiang Mai, Thailand
- www.stigphoto.com
- Elephant Trek in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
- After a week of diving off a live aboard in the Similan Islands we had planned to do an overnight elephant trek in the Northern jungles of Chiang Mai. ... It was a long day but eventually we arrived in Chiang Mai and checked into the Chiang Mai Plaza and met up with our guide for the elephant trek, "Sammy". ...

- I was happy to find some Pringles, a candy bar and some nuts, but these were eaten long before we arrived at the elephant camp. ...
- We were told that we were now 2/3 of the way to the elephant camp, but a few people in our group were spent and asked if there was any other options to get to the elephant camp. ... About half our group opted for the elephant option, but they would have to wait about 2 hours for the guides to round up the elephants and bring them to the village. ...
- The rest of the hike was uneventful up until at one point we turned a corner on the trail and right in the middle of the trail was a huge elephant. The elephant didn't seem to react to us, but it was blocking our path on the trail. We waited for the rest of the group to catch up with us and then the guide shouted some odd commands that caused the elephant to move off the trail and into the jungle. Eventually we made it to the elephant camp right before sunset and we were relieved to be there. ...
- When it finally hits an elephant, they run toward the noise. Apparently the elephant skin is so think that it really doesn't hurt them, but does make them move. For the next 2 hours Scott frantically tried to keep up with the short guides as they ran through the jungle on their elephant quest. ... Elephants coming into camp: As the elephant's entered the camp area the guides led them toward the river where the elephants used their trunks to spray water to clean themselves. ...
