More Hua Hin, February 2009

We also did elephant riding in Hua Hin, once again! Yes, we ride elephants a lot in Thailand….it’s easy, cheap, fun, and there are opportunities all over the place, from downtown Bangkok to out at the beach! This time we rode through an elephant camp where they had about 20 elephants, from babies age 1 year all the way up to one of the elephants we were riding, 50 years old, and maybe older! Caroline actually got to “steer” and rode right up on the elephant’s head for awhile as the “mahout” (elephant handler.) The other kids weren’t quite as brave but we all had fun on the elephants. After our ride, we went to the elephant show and had fun watching them play soccer, paint, ride bikes, give Rick a massage, and feeding them bananas!
