Howdy!
Well the elephant ride was fantastic! We took a one hour jungle trek that lasted an hour which cost us about £8 each! The elephant was massive and I don't think it even realised that we were up there. Helen said that she wanted to hear it's "trumpet" (!???) but sadly we had no luck. The elephant man / guide tended to make lots of encouranging noises at the elephant, but in the end I think we went where the elephant wanted. Every now and then the elephant would let out an almighty growl (a la tiger-style),which is nice when you are sitting on its back...
We actually managed to spend the whole time on the island without falling off the damn bike, although we did have a habit of driving off with the stand still down!!
Koh Chang is definately being developed left right and centre, so we're lucky that we went when we did. A few more years and I think it will be a bit of a "Phuket".
Anyway... enjoy the pics!
Lots of love from Gareth and Helen x x x
