| Let us take some of the elephant range countries and have look at things what they do though the subject is exhaustive. I would strongly recommend some of the owners themselves to go and have a visit to these places, which is not expensive. In Thailand there are many tourist spots, which are either elephant exclusive as well, exhibit other animal shows too. To be brief let us take a quick look at things what is happening at these places. One of the most instutionalised one is the one at Lampung. The elephant show begins with big bang. There are galleries for the audience to sit. All other facilities needed for tourists like photography, souvenirs, etc. All elephant make a parade then the show starts. This includes picking up things from the ground. These things may be things like a cap and putting it on mahouts’ head, an elephant hook etc. Elephant pull and push logs, play tug of war, foot ball, play mouth organ and dance etc. One most interesting display is that, they organise an orchestra like music. This is easily done by making the animals to gently tap on water pots filled with different level of water. This is something, which is very similar, to our jalatharanga. The performance does not stop with that. They have CD version of it, which is sold like hot cakes to the audiences. Another ones are paintings by the elephants and the painted canvass is auctioned or sold. On one occasion as a guest I was presented with one. These elephant paintings are sold in Singapore zoo also. One elephant camp at Authoya (Ayodhya), which is the former capital of Thailand, has 143 elephants! This is mostly a riding place. They also make many value added products like artefacts made out of elephant dung pulp, greeting cards, paper etc. A husband and wife with their teenage daughter are the custodians. They breed also elephants. You can see courting and mating of elephants in their camp. But of course, visit to this area is restricted and tourists are not allowed in. Only guests are allowed to this area Actually from this elephant camp only Australia wanted to import some elephant which ended in big International legal battle inviting experts from all over the world to testify in to the Senate of the Thai government and the Australian court.
