About 15 minutes outside of town is a paper making facility. The make paper out of elephant dung and other farm animal's poo. It is a well thought out entertainment area and takes about 45 minutes to explore and shop... They recycle all the poo from nearby elephant parks, use natural dyes to color their papers and reuse the water by irrigating the plants. In order to get there, we decided to hire a car = our original taxi driver, Mr. Lop. He charged us 1000 baht for the afternoon. Besides the elephant farm, we ran a quick errand, saw 2 temples and went to a silk shop that showed how silk is made & woven.
