My first Elephant


Three days ago i went on a Day-trip around Chiang Mai with four Germans that i had met at the Guesthouse. It was great fun and not very expensive (800 Bath = 18 Euro). The tribal village they did at the start was quite boring, but we were there only a quarter of an hour anyway. Next were the Elephant rides (a piece of advice: Take insect repellant with you! There are huge mosquitos that sting elephants. And knowing how thick Elephant skin is you can guess what it feels like when you're being stung by them! Tom, the guy i was riding with said it felt like getting a shot from the doctor!), relaxing and nice, but not really mindblowing. The hike up to some waterfall was much nicer, and the whitewater rafting at the end (with 20 minutes of chillout bamboo "rafting" at the end) really topped it off.
