For all of that it cost only 1000 baht which is just over £20, an absolute bargain. It is only an hour drive outside of Chiang Mai and the scenery is breathtaking. Riding on the elephant was a once in a lifetime experience and I'm so happy I went and did it. The elephants eat around 200kg of food a day (nearly as much as I eat) and they love bananas and sugar cane. I bought a bag full before I started the ride and it didn't take long for the elephant to eat it all! I even got the chance to sit on its neck and ride the elephant properly which was daunting at first but absolutely fine!
Overall a great day and the best thing I've ever done. If you go to Chiang Mai, don't miss out on this experience!
