Photoblog: Elephant Riding in Thailand

One of the highlight when tourists visit Thailand is to ride an elephant. Phuket Island Safari, 20 minutes drive from downtown is an area that offer such experience.

A cart of two people is placed on top of elephant and 'the driver' controls movement with a kind of big needle by pressing it to the left or right of elephant's head. A bit sadistic for human, but I guess it is like scratching for elephant thick skin.
