River Lodge Lampang

The 8hour bus journey was worth it as we made our way to the elephant sanctuary. I had the pleasure to watch them eat and wash in a huge river pics on facebook! they are suck smart animals they came out and had loads of water in there trunks and covered us in it when they got out luckie my camera werent wet though!! then tabia and I rode on one for 45minutes this was ****ing scarey at first but u got use to the feeling your were going to fall off and then it walk across you ...

... an eley till your up there...funny thing she is the biggest of all the eley's here. At some point we were on a highway walking along and then a semi comes up the road...well...the eleys very smartly walk to the side of the road....they all gathered in a gaggle...and they started to grunt and groan and mine was swaying her head left and right .....making weird sounds....remember I am on her head....nice ride....did I mention my ass hurt....any additional movement other ...

... t even notice....she stands up and I give a quick Song Soong.....and right about there the pain hit me between the eyes...as I tried my damdest to clamber up her....I think she felt bad for me cause I had my one leg on her leg and she litterely tossed me up....she probably got tired of my whimpering in her big ole ear....as it was right near my tear stained face......k so now I am sitting on a big mud pie...and in a plague of flies....who really are annoying...one swat I ...

... will work on the wife but hmmmmm. So I am trying to mimick like a parrot along with Shauna and all the others on each of our elephants these commands... "SONG SOON!" She Makes a step by bending her front leg and you climb up with a lift from her on her neck and sit there...quite amazing...you drop something they go and get it for you and hand it to you with the trunk....They turn on the water tap and get a drink...go over raise a flag...sit down ...

... je enako prevozno sredstvo kot v Indiji moto-riksa. Trikolesniki s prostorom za voznika spredaj in za do 5 oseb prostorom zadaj, premagujejo ze vecje razdalje kot moto taksiji in so zato tudi drazji. Voznja z njimi je obicajno polna adrenalina zaradi hitrosti in zelo glasna zaradi zvoka dvotaktnih motorjev. Kot gorivo skoraj izkljucno uporabljajo utekocinjen naftni plin. V Bangkoku so obicajno tuk-tuki drazji od taksijev, saj se je za ceno treba predhodno pogajati in ...

... any we had seen previously, boasting great wooden structures and surrounding by medieval-like walls. After a couple of hours round the temple site we headed back to our guesthouse, got together our bags and made our way back to the train station. Our next stop was Chiang Mai, the largest city in northern Thailand and a cultural hub for travellers.

Travis was mildly concerned that something may have happened to our booking and we would be told we couldn't be mahouts, but the woman at the desk called Supat, the program coordinator, and he told us to hurry, so we hopped on another truck. I'd never spoken to Supat, and I didn't talk to him much at our first meeting. I was handed a mahout suit and told to change in ...

... I whispered around the corner. "Erin, how do I put on my pants?" "I have no idea," she whispered back. It was going to be a long day. So, mostly dressed in a very goofy looking blue mahout suit, we walked down to the showground. Each mahout brought up their elephant and we would be matched with one by Supat, the tourist liaison. I shook hands with my mahout and followed him and his elephant out to the showground. I hadn't read ...

I'm in the habit of gazing into space. I don't start it intentionaly, and I suppose that is what makes it a habit, but it consumes a lot of time. Some would say I have a problem. People do strange things. I met this guy from Etheopia who has been traveling for ten years. We are now friends, sort of. For a reason he refuses to reveal, Mike rolls pieces of paper and sticks them in his nostrels. My theory is that he does it to throw people off ...
