I have my first ever elephant ride in Sriracha Zoo in Thailand!! I enjoyed having that ride and i had greater appreciation for that large but gentle animal.. We have watched the Elephants Show and i can't believe those elephants are really smart and funny enough to perform those tricks! The audience roared with applause and laughter every after one trick from another.. Then the highlight of my experience with elephants of course is my first ever elephant ride which made me loved the animal more and more! Have you ever ride an elephant? What's your experience with elephants? Do you also love and appreciate them as i do?

My native place is Kerala. This is a State in India. Here elephants are very common. Here we use elephants for festivals and for functions etc. Tourists are facianated by this animal very nuch So now a days people arrange elephant saffari mainly aiming foreigners. I didnt have elephant ride yet. Its very interesting to see people travelling on elephants.

You are lucky to live with elephants in your native place.. With my encounter with these animals, I find them helpful and friendly with human beings.. i hope elephants are preserved anywhere and in your native place.. i hope they will not reach extinction just like the mammoths..
