Esther Dubois I have taken part in one of the elephant trekking tours you can book from Chiang Mai. We arrived at the elephant trail, fed the elephants some bananas, and then climbed on them. There were four people on our elephant, and I had the honor of riding bareback, sitting on the elephant's head! The ears kind of grip your legs when they are not fanned out, and it is a little like balancing on a mechanical bull in slow motion. What a great experience!
