Elephant ride near Chang Mai

We went on an elephant trek near Chang Mai which was enjoyable. You buy bags of bananas and sugar cane on the way round and when the elephant wants some it lifts its trunk above its head, you place some food on the snout and it wraps it up and lowers it to its mouth. Every now and then when they lift their trunks they slober everwhere and you get splattered with it.

The guy sat on the elephants neck is Olly, his guide put him there then jumped off and disappeared leaving them at the elephants mercy. At one point their elephant walked up to the edge of a cliff and its a good job it didn't lean forward to much!
