Today we went to Siam Safari here in Phuket to do an elephant ride. It was a fabulous experience. We were all excited and a bit nervous about it. The clouds opened and dumped down on our way and we dragged out our rain ponchos! The tour was so good. We got to meet our elephants and marhout (trainer). Got on and had 30mins trekking through the forest. Very unusual gait and it took a bit to get used to and both Connor and I held on quite tightly as we went down hill. After the trek we got to feed the elephant we rode on. Then we visited the baby elephants and fed them too. All chose an elephant souvenir to remember this special event.
