About This Item

Chang Chang Chang (Erephant Erephant Erephant)

While on holiday in Thailand in October 2007, we travelled to Chiang Dao and stayed at a lovely small resort called Chiang Dao Nest. From there we did a 3 day trek into the mountains, which was the best part of our holiday. One of our guides on the trek treated us to a rendition, in both Thai and English, of a children's song 'Chang Chang Chang', (or 'Erephant, erephant, erephant') after we had been on an elephant ride. The elephants in the area are no longer working animals as logging has been stopped in order to conserve the forests, so they are now kept in camps and provide amusement for visitors.

Later, in Bangkok I was given this small leather elephant by guides on a companion programme to a conference that Jack attended. So it seemed a fitting idea to set this elephant on its way back to its home country.

Discovered It 10/7/2018 MJBB discovered it   Visit Log

I am so sorry to report that I was the one to have the travel bug. I completely forgot to log it when I took many many years ago and then I got out of the geocaching mood. Anyway, I found my bag of cache toys and discovered it so I took it out and got it back on the trail.

I put it in TakeKitty to the Vet (GC4A8CG) in Bend, OR. Hopefully this bug log can be restored so it can be enjoyed once again.

My apologies again!!!!

After reviewing the logs again, it looks like it was supposed to be in "Down the Drain." But it wasn't... oh well.

This TB was not in Down the Drain. It looks like the last person to take it on 12/9/2009 forgot to log it.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 8/1/2009 1Bum grabbed it   Visit Log

Discovered the joy of geocaching with gardeningowl and family. Have come back to US with Chang Chang Chang and will send him (her) on his way by placing in 1st cache ever found (in US). Will need to become more familiar with site to log all the caches that I have found. Hopefully this will give CCC a boost on the journey home.
Retrieve It from a Cache 6/28/2009 gardeningowl retrieved it from Glyn Valley Tramway North Wales, United Kingdom   Visit Log

Found today in a lovely sunny spot - can't make any promises as far as Thailand is concerned but will move on quickly in the hope that someone else can help reach that goal!
