This is Bang Bang! We got to ride him through the forest in Cosa mui and it was the best experience ever. It was a DREAM COME TRUE for me. All my life I had want to backpack Thailand and ride an elephant. I got both! Bang bang was the best. He loved to dance and talk! I fell in love! I have always had a love and appreciation for elephants and this just made it stronger. If I could have it my way we would be hanging out with Bang Bang right now! I loved him so much. He was beautiful and his tusks were amazing. While on the topic of elephants I must say that purchasing anything that contains ivory makes you a murder. I watched a special in Taiwan ( in English) about the people that kill elephants for their tusks. Over half of their bodies are left to rot, only a little is taken for food. I strongly feel this is a serious issue and we need to fight against it. Or there isn't going to be any more Bang Bangs to love.

So cool! I want to do that some day. That's sad that they don't take care of the elephants.
What an awesome experience! So jealous. We totally both share a passion for travel and culture!
Wow, that is so awesome! I wish I could ride through the jungle on an elephant! My only thing is that I don't like bugs! Especially tics. I have this weird phobia or something. Jeremy and I are going on the Mexican Rivera cruise in May and I only hope that I can suck it up and be tough so I can have some cool experiences off the ship.
