Elephant Encounters - Final Addition

On the very first day, I was introduced to 'Lek' (meaning small) the female founder of the elephant nature park happened just before lunch. We entered the baby shelter and found that there was a hushed silence. Peering over the fence I saw a tiny Thai lady and a relatively tiny (to the other elephants, not to Lek) baby elephant. She was at its side as it stood still and listening closely you could hear a Thai lullaby. Yes, Lek was puttig the baby down for a nap by singing to it. Had to be the cutest thing as he looked more and more drowsy while she stroked its side, and eventually coaxed him to a lying position. Here she sang softly into his ear (I thought she was gonna kiss him) and then he was asleep. Adorable.
