Elephants! 26/10/06

After the rubber tapping, we saw a baby elephant show. Very, very cute. I won't even try to upload the video we took because my dear friend blogger lost an entire post earlier and I'm not messing with fancy stuff.

We took photos with them and some of the tour group fed them fruit. They charged 50 baht a basket.

This is the platform where you get on the elephants. These are the 3 make-up girls!

Then we went riding on the elephants for about 40 minutes. We had what we call a Jhb elephant who kept overtaking the slower ones. My kind of animal. When we started out, we were number 6 or 7 in the queue. Because our elephant was having none of this slow stuff, we ended up number 3.

The view was beautiful and we enjoyed the ride thoroughly.

I bought an elephant necklace for only 80 baht (R17) at the elephant compound. Stuff was amazingly cheap at this place, especially so because it was a real touristy place.
