Ban Pha Muad Chiang Mai Zoo Excursion

We spent a wonderful day with the bright and inquisitive children from Ban Pha Muad Primary School. Situated in the remote foothills outside of Chiang Mai near the Doi Sakhet region, which is home a wide selection of families from diverse ethnic origins.

Many of the children come from low income migrant worker families and hill tribe ethnic communities, so this was a real eye opener for many of them.

Watching the seals put on a display and demonstrate their dexterity was quite amusing for many of us. The animal show was another interesting highlight of the day, with bicycle riding parrots racing each other and a poll cat coming out to pick up all the toys that were left lying around after another act.
