Elephants

There are only two countries in a world that you can ride elephants it is India and Thailand. I think, one of the best tour in Thailand is riding elephants. It was so much exciting. Only in Thailand, you can sit on the elephants three different places. The one is close to elephant’s neck; another spot is in the char that is located on the elephant’s back. The trainer of the elephant may sit on the elephants head.

It was so scary in the beginning. We were supposed to sit on the special char. I didn't think I would have another chance to take an unusual picture with elephant, that is why we changed our location to elephant's neck. Trainer took a picture of us and gave a command "go" to elephant. Then took another picture just for fun.

 

We didn't expect to ride elephant sitting on his neck, we needed only picture. Probably thai-trainer of our elephant didn't understand what we really wanted. I fell like we were going to fall down couple times. thai-trainer took a picture of this too. guess he was bored so decided to make fun with tourist which were we.

The moment when fear left came latter. We saw that thai-trainer control this huge animal very easily. Who might know that elephants are extremely intelligent and smart animals. They can understand humans command in the same way a dog does.
