Comments:	I spent two weeks as a volunteer working with Lek. Most of this time was spent looking after an orphaned baby elephant, however we also found time to visit her jungle camp, and feed the elephants that live at the conservation park. I have learnt a lot about elephants from people who have spent their entire lives working with them, knowledge which is difficult to come by elsewhere. The food was delicious, the people we stayed with were very friendly, and the other volunteers were great people to spend time with. Overall it has been a wonderful experience, and I have seen a side of Thailand that I would not otherwise have seen had I not been a volunteer. If you are an Australian who is curious to hear first hand what being a volunteer is like, please contact me with any questions at: fionabastian@hotmail.com.
