After Tiger Temple, we went to ride elephant. I did not realise how big the elephant is until I sit on his back and look on the ground. The stuff who ride the elephant was singing trditional Thai songs the entire riding time. It was enjoyable with such great songs and tropical natural scenary around.
When our elephant stepped toward the river, I actually being asked to technically semi-ride the elephant by sitting on its head. Its head shaked around slightly and I was ready to fall down. The elephant take us to the river and started to play with water and say hi to his friend by pull the water toward his friend. I was so appreciated that I only get wet a little bit from their water game rather than falling down from his shaking-quite-a-lot head to the river.
In addition to that, we also get free elephant massage from two cute, smaller elephant. Those two small ones still drink milk. I hope nobody’s gonna to kill them and take their teeth and other valuable parts away after they get old when they no longer capable of making more profit for the owners. Hope I am just overthink this time and people all respect other animals’ living rights.
Anyway, riding elephant is a really memorable and great experience.
