After bathing the baby elephants sometimes give away kisses. They have been trained with positive reinforcement (which means extra bananas or white bread!)but they are never forced with a hook. If they don't want to kiss, they don't have to. But luckily for us, baby Pupia was often in a kissing move!
If anyone hears anything about Pupia and her mom Im sure we would all live to know considering Pupia was such a great example of Lek's positive reinforcement training.

Isn't Pupia a sweetie? I loved getting kisses from him! Thanks for helping to spread the word about this very special place in Thailand.
