It's tiring but I don't give up.
Please join my (new) Flickr-group "Thailand's begging-street elephants)mentioned in "Website" to spread the word!
I'm greatful that a part of my photo album has been mentioned under the art-work as "begging elephants"!
The mentioned link is one of my sets in Flickr containing together more than 400 photos of only roaming street-elephants in Bangkok.
