Ok, it's a little cliche to come to Thailand to ride an elephant. But I've never seen one up close. We stopped along the road to Khao Yai to meet the family that leads tours through the jungle. We didn't take the 30-minute, ten-baht ride, but I sat on one of the stubbly 35-year-old elephants and fed it bamboo shoots. See more photos.
