We said farewell to Michelle, Ollie and Sandra for 2 weeks as they're off to look after elephants. The rest of us went to see our own elephants and as ever I had a ride - the ride always has a different charm in the various countries I've been to. I rode on Rayrai. a young 24 year old female elephant, this time the seat was like a bench. Afterwards we went to visit an ancient temple followed by another lovely lunch (floor style) - Yes I took pictures of the food this time and will eventually upload them on to the skydrive. The photos seem to be taking an age to load again.
In the afternoon we visited the elephant village where the elephants go at the end of their working day. We saw lots of little (or not so little) babies close up and loads of the grown elephants were just roaming around the yard so we had to watch our backs and dodge out of the way a couple of times. Watched them being bathed and even fed them too so yet another good experience.
Had dinner by the river Chaopraya though we really weren't hungry but it was good to try new dishes - the fish was amazing - Yas - I'm doing my best to eat as much as I can
It was a long drive back to the ECO house in the jeep which is pretty blowy at the best of times. There were loads of disco buses on the roads -they're brightly coloured with flashing spotlights on them and people dancing inside. I thought it was just the odd one but there are loads of them,
Forgot to mention that on the 3rd night that we arrived Wim bought a birthday cake for the 4 of us who had had birthdays in July - a lovely touch I thought.

There seems to be alot of tales about Elephants running through this blog, I do hope you are not planning on bringing one back?!! hehe
Food sounds and looks good. I am trying to picture Disco Buses, and if people are dancing inside are the buses still going along the road?? Bizarre!!
