Thai Elephants in Beijing

Six elephants arrived at the Beijing World Park from Thailand yesterday while another six flew home to Thailand for a well-deserved vacation. Once every six months, six specially trained Thai elephants are sent to Beijing World Park to perform in parades and other public exhibitions where they play soccer and provide free "jumbo massages" to bold volunteers.
