An elephant ride...perhaps the biggest cliche of them all


Boys at the camp get the elephants ready for our ride.


The elephants get a washing.


An elephant ride is sooooooooo cheesy, in a Thai kinda way, but at least I get to sit on his neck. We're sitting with Matt, from England. Detail you obviously wanted to know: our elephant liked to fart. According to the people behind us, you could see the bubbles coming out of the river.


The neck ended up being the best seat in the house. Sometimes it would wrap its ears around my feet and I felt all safe and cozy. Well, as safe and cozy as it's possible to feel sitting on an elephant's neck.


The path we took went through rivers and was surrounded by jungle.
