I am in northan Thailand, Pai now. I always wanted to ride a elephant, and it was one of my to do list in this trip. I thought I would love it, but once I got on his back I felt so sorry for him and I couldn't handle it. I told a guy who takes care of the elephant that I want to go back. I feeded the elephant a bunch of banana after we came back. I was so sad and I was ashamed that I always wanted to ride a elephant. But if I didn't, I never knew. Now I know how it feels and I'll never do that again. I am so sorry and thank you for letting me ride your back. It was very warm on your back, I felt you!
