The Mesa Elephant Camp in the  of Chiang Mai is the biggest elephant training school in Thailand. It can accommodate more than ninety elephants, each of whom specializes in a professional skill. Some play the harmonica, some are football players, some can shoot darts or push timber, and some can even paint complicated pictures.
The camp has eight elephant artists, who set a Guinness record working together on a 12-meter-long landscape painting. Accompanied by music, they can paint an awesome masterpiece within minutes. The themes of their paintings range from true-to-life trees and flowers, and even abstract images. One of the artists can  picture of an elephant in color.
