We rode elephants .they are mega big and have lots of meat  in them.

I rode with wescott
And our elephant  was pretty nicf.

I liked when he laid down in the water of the river.  Their trunks are liike nozes and can hold Stuff.

He put watar in his trunk and sprayed water all over us.

Here's everyone ready to ride elephants!

PARENTS NOTE:  You can actually do a 30-day retreat at Thai Elephant Home where you work with the elephants and ride them everyday!  We all read the book Modoc before we went to Chiang Mai because Roger at Island Books recommended it…Thank you Roger!  It is simply an awesome true story about an elephant that would make anyone want to do the 30-day program or move to Chiang Mai altogether :)

    I think Otto needs to include elephant riding in his transportation post!! I liked riding my own elephant bareback.

    Great post. . .one question: What’s up with the matching blue outfits?

      They make everyone change into those so you don’t have to worry about your clothes during the watertight with the elephants part of the day :)
