You mean I need a Pickup to collect it?

And a mobile crane.

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.

Until they run out of fuel.

you can volunteer to take care of elephants. 

 

I have a friend who does that here in Hua Hin at the elephant sanctuary.  

 

And yes he shoves ES and washes them.
