Unlike Bangkok, this elephant in Cambodia is not a begging elephant. You can feed it with bananas that you can buy from the park or from the Mahoot, the elephant caretaker, but mostly this elephant, for $20 will let you ride on her back and walk you through the park. This elephant is 50 years old and despite its huge size, is not the biggest in the herd.
After a day's work, she is given a shower, and if you wait for that, they might allow you to hold the hose so you can give her a bath. =)
