Post from Mathijs


I love Thailand! The best things I've seen so far are the elephants, the montior lizard & the tigers. The elephants are the biggest thing we have seen so far! There was a newborn baby elephant that was born too early hiding under the straw. We didn't even see it at first, but then the straw started moving! It was so little for an elephant! After it got up it went to its mom. We feed the elephants corn and someone else feed them watermelons. They put the melons in their mouth and they exploded with a crack! Could you imagine if that were your head?! Then we followed them down to the river and watched them bathe. There was a little baby elephant that kept following Ash. He was very playful.

When we were riding in a boat when we saw this 'thing' come out of the water. It was a gigantic montior lizard. It was as big as a crocodile! If my mom was in that water and it brushed against her legs, everyone's ear drums would bust out for miles around! The tiger temple was pretty cool. They have a lot of huge tigers laying all around the place and they stared at us like we were little antelope they wanted to eat for a midnight snack! We touched a huge tiger just for Uncle Dan! I wasn't scared. The baby tiger was really cute. I'll write more in a few days!
