Thinking of getting a bit bigger pet, how much would an elephant cost? Can you even own one in Thailand? Or is it 51-49 again? 

I'll ask the bloke next door.. the girl he married is turning into one.

Actually i would love to have that thread. Buying an elephant, would be worth following for humour at least.

Buy a house next to an elephant sanctuary / entertainment park, pay the dual pricing entrance fee every day, buy a ride and a large bunch of bananas and a sack of sugar cane every day to feed your favorite, and it will STILL be cheaper than your plan.....

Lovely animals. Many domesticated elephants are owned cooperative. Although they bond to one mahout, the whole village is involved in their care. I think this is a great idea but don't go it alone. With no tourists, one of the elephant camps may work out a loan for you. That way, you can see if it suits you.

 

I was sweet on an elephant once. Took her bathing in the river every day. Name was Gumlai.
