If you have ever wondered what riding a brontosaurus would be like, you could try looking at an elephant. We have spent the last two days in a small town near Chiang Rai, Thailand. Our hotel is on a hill near the Mekong River, and from our balcony you can easily see three countries -
Thailand, Myanmar (Burma) and Laos.
My sister and I have been learning how to ride elephants each morning and afternoon; the elephants eat a lot of bananas and are very docile.
We take hour-long jungle rides and all is well.
