Elephant and Mahout
I spent a little time at the area where the mahouts stay with their elephants. You can buy small bunches of bananas and vitamin packets to feed them. On the one hand it seems sad but on the other it's part of a long tradition.

Elephant and Food
The elephants kept trying to sneak up to the kiosk to steal from the baskets. They would be very sly about it.
