Are you going up north? Outside Chaing Mai there is a wonderful Elephant park where they take care of abused elephants, and where you can help feeding and bathing the animals, it was an almost religious experience - see here: http://www.elephantnaturepark.org/ Oh, reading your blog is hard, the restless soul in me wakes up and I just want to go to Thailand again, despite the fact that I came back in the beginning of November…

I believe the love for the King is universal and genuine - the dissension that happens is all about the Prime Minister and political parties, which the King manages to distance himself from. Some words that you'll find useful: Sawadee-ka (Sawadee-krap for a man) means hello, welcome and is said with hands pressed palm-to-palm in front of the chest and with a slight bow Kap-kuhn-ka (Kap-kuhn-krap for a man) Thank you Nam is the word for water; Hong nam the word for bathroom; nam plaah is fish sauce (I'm addicted to the stuff) I SO envy you - have a wonderful time.
