Welcome to the Elephant Village said the signage. It was after about 1.45hrs ride in the van, from Khlong Nueng (in Pathum Thani), that we reached Damnoen Saduak. Bought tickets for the ride. (2 teenagers + 1 kid = Baht 1500). If you'd like to feed the elephants, bananas were also sold.
The weather was good, sunny. Much like our own in Malaysia. So, the ride was fine.
The elephant was rather hungry I guess...well, we didn't buy any bananas for them!
The kids without their mahout guiding the elephant...(he jumped down to take the pic.). On the RHS of the pic, is a canal that we traveled in later on to the floating market.
Our elephant decided to rummage for something to eat.
Leisurely ride by both of us .... on land and in the canal.... Err...actually, I was a bit terrified.
Getting ready to disembark the elephant!!! A landing was built at approximately the height of the elephant to make it easier for us to get onto and off it.
At the end of the ride (about 30 mins), each of us was given a cup of mineral water. Thanks...
