Episode 102 - Elephant Ride

This photo was taken at the Laguna Resort at Phuket of Thailand.

Chiu Yin and Judith were taking an elephant ride.

The riding site was at a park near the shopping arcade of the resort. There were 2 elephants and we chose the strongest one for the ride. The fee for a 15-minute ride was reasonable.

The seat on the elephant back did not appear to be safe. There was no security bar to prevent the passengers from dropping forward in the event that the elephant lost its balance. Chiu Yin had confident on the elephant and was not frightened. Chiu Yin said the elephant was naughty as it stopped on the way to drink water.

After the ride we treated the elephant with bananas.
