Royal Elephant Kraal in Ayutthaya, Thailand. This is the place where once a year wild elephants are driven to, to pick out the best to train as royal elephants to be used in war and in parades. There's still a training facility where they train elephants for re-enactments and parades and an elephant sanctuary. Note the size of the posts to the size of the cattle turned in to graze. They still don't seem strong enough to me.
