I was on a bamboo rafting trip in Chiang Mai, Thailand when we bumped into a group of tourist riding on the elephants, of cause I wanted to try as well as soon as we finishes the rafting excursion. Typical me :D
The ride will take you into the jungle and across the river, the whole journey will probably take you an hour or so. However, do be prepared if you wanna try this as one of my friend's elephant decided to take a quick shower by the river leaving them ALL WET! Hahhahha....
Just realised I haven't blogged on this tip yet, more pics in my Facebook.
I think this would be an interesting experience, even if we did run the risk of a quick shower. Actually, if it's very hot, a shower might feel good.
ReplyDeleteHeh. If the heat there is anything like South Africa, they would have welcomed the shower!
ReplyDeleteI would love to ride elephants like that but I would have to be assured first that they hadn't been mistreated.
This is a lovely photo Lily. It is timeless in black and white. Can't wait to read more about your Thailand trip.
haha that sounds very exciting and fun...i'd love to take a ride someday!
ReplyDeletehahahahhaaha I can not imaging I got wet by the elephant. :D

Just as the driver of a bus has the right to evict unruly passengers, so the the elephant has a more effective weapon !!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like they're having so much fun. I can see why you wanted to ride too. :-)
ReplyDeleteChiang Mai is on my list. Riding an elephant is not :P
