Feeding the elephants
Arriving at the base camp at Ban Kariang Ruam Mit Village
Trekking thru the forestWoke up early to have coffee by the river and watch them bathe the elephants and get them suited up with 'saddles'.
This morning is day 3 of our trekking and we don't really have to trek at all, just had to hang on for our lives onto these amazing animals as they trekked thru places I never thought an elephant could fit! Some very narrow and steep as well, we had to do lots of hanging on and ducking our heads it was a real workout might as well have been trekking ourselves! Ended up in the Mae Kok River and then lunch at the Ban Kariang Ruam Mit village where I had to feed the elephants some sugar cane and vegitables. The first one was so cute just looked at me and kept bobbing his head up and down and up and down like pick me please! So I fed him alot, such personality he had! We then hopped on a Long Tail boat to continue down the river and back to Chiang Rai to do some much needed laundry and have a hot shower! Oh yeah and an hour long foot massage for about $6 :)

Hey - you have long pants and a jacket on. I didn't think I'd need those!
