A Real Parent's Story
An elephant kissed my 4-year-old
“A rescued elephant reached through the fence and gently touched her cheek.”

We almost skipped Ayutthaya because Bangkok traffic is brutal. Best decision to go. The elephant kraal is ethically run — the elephants are retired from logging, not chained. One elephant reached through the fence and touched her cheek. Now she calls it 'her elephant friend.'
