Elephant Ride

An Elephant ride will set you back 800 bhat, per person (about $32 AUD) for a 30 minute ride. There is also a 10 or so min stop in the middle for the Elephant to rest.

This is my Elephant coming to take me for a ride.


My Elephant


Once the Elephant leaves the stable, it is open highway, and the Elephant can really open up and get moving.


The Highway



There is a small rope wrapped around the elephants tail, that stops the seat moving forward.


Elephants Bum


There was a big hill to go down, I am sure the Elephant enjoys going down it.


Steep Hill


If you are interested, the elephant has an accelerator, and I am sure a break on the other ear.

The Accelerator


Walking through the rubber trees, we noticed we were being followed by another Elephant.


Another Elephant Rider



Once back at the ranch, it was time to feed the elephant, for only 50 Bhat more. ($2 AUD)
