We are docked at Laem Chabang, a large port three hours from
Bangkok. Yesterday was a long 10-hour day, driving to the ancient capital of
Thailand, Ayutthaya. The Royal Summer Palace is here and quite beautiful , as
well as ruins of the original Thai capital. The hit of the day was the elephant
ride. Our elephant became a bit temperamental during the ride which led the mahoot to a few minutes of disciplinary time. Quite exciting.
You guys should get your own elephant! I can see you in your back yard with it! Maybe you can dismiss the gardener if they eat enough grass!
ReplyDeleteI rode an elephant years ago at the Los Angeles Zoo. I don't think they have that ride today. It was not in a chair--I could feel the elephant's spine as he walked. His bones against my bones did not make for a comfortable ride.
