Thai Elephant Trek…Mahout Style

// March 10th, 2010 // Uncategorized, thailand, travel tips

Talk about an amazing experience!  My friends and I learned how to ride an elephant like a true Mahout (a person who looks after and drives an elephant.)  There were no baskets…we were one with the animals.  This was all thanks to the folks at the elephant camp at the Anantara Resort and spa near Chiang Rai, Thailand.  This facility is unlike any other I’ve seen:  5 star service, wonderful people and amazing animals.  This was a true treat!
