We took some public buses to the Elephant refuge nearby. We rode an elephant - it was a rough ride.
We didn't get to steer the elephant ourselves - there was a guy up front who would nudge the elephant's ears with his feet, speak to it and occasionally hit it with a stick with a metal point.
We could have paid for a one hour ride, but half an hour was too long anyway (I checked my watch about 3 times on the trek). You can also take care of an elephant for half a day, which looks like fun, but we were happy just to see the elephants.
Tomorrow we are heading to Phuket (poo-get). It is more of a beachy town down south, so we should get some more tans and hopefully less burns.
