SO who of you guys live in Thailand?
You say this and in a few minutes difference say this? "I like living in Thailand, trying to get through as many of the female population as I can. Life is short. Weather, food, beer is good, if there is a Heaven I hope it is like this". -

Spanish student dies after being attacked by elephant in Thailand
Absolutely! There is no place in this day and age for elephant tourism. It may be in question that they are domesticated or not, I agree with you - however, it’s all animal exploitation. To tame these animals they undergo an unpleasant process of breaking at a young age by the mahoot, it’s called “crushing” (I don’t cite wiki as an impartial source, but just for reference). I don’t remember the need to train my cat in such a manner. We now have non-contact ethical sanctuaries, filled with rescued animals - rescued from where? Elephants were stopped being used in logging since 1984, so now elephants are produced to be dragged around the villages peddling trinkets or perform tricks at fairs aimed at the local market. They are offered as rescue animals, I hear it costs 1M THB from an owner, others may be temporarily rescued by renting them. These ethical sanctuaries are money making enterprises. The whole elephant tourism game is shady - it should be stopped. -

Day-to-day life in Myanmar
And why not? It is a matter of personal choice and I commend Simon for all his charitable work in Burma. There are many persons like Simon who are living in "conflict" countries around the World "doing good" for the local people, especially the young and poor. Congratulations Simon! At one point during my retirement in Thailand, living across the border in Tachilek (Burma) was considered by me as I had Burmese friends there. Thai bureaucratic "officialdom" was the reason, but it never happened, the result of the latest coup, and I relocated to Siem Reap in Cambodia where I live to this day. -

No elephant is ever domesticated! Domesticated elephants are. -
