how many of you have ridden an elephant?

Your trip sounds like it was incrediable. For me the only elephant I have ever rode was one you put a quarter in while your mommy waited for the ride to be over. I would love to ride a real elephant someday. I LOVE elephants and frogs those are my two collections that I like.

I have not but would like to. I'm glad you had a wonderful time in Thailand, shiloh.

yeah i ahve had a couple of elephant rides in my lifetime...and they were awesome...such a majestic yet gentle animal it is.... which gives you the respect you show it and as simple as that.... you be rude to the elephant ..... well its your risk.....

Yes, I have ridden an elephant five years ago (I think), when I visited Thailand with some of my relatives. It was not through the jungle, though, but it is within a tourist spot. Two of us had to sit on a small chair which was settled on top of the elephant's back. I actually felt bad for that baby elephant at the time. We were not heavy but she is just a baby elephant! I also saw several elephants in the city. Good that you rode an elephant through the jungle. I hope I had the same experience, then I would not feel sorry for the elephants that are being away from their natural habitat and being used for livelihood. Well, just my opinion. Happy myLotting!

I have never ridden an elephant, but do agree that would be a wonderful experience.

Hi frnds, i have ridden an elephant in my life once when i was in my childhood. when we visited a temple i was ridden in a elephant.Its a enjoy to me and feeling happy, great fun.

I am in south India.Many a time we go to the hills and a elephant camp called Mudhumalai during our summer holidays.I have enjoyed the elephant ride through the jungle many times.You can see the image of those elephant I have uploaded.

i dont think i have ridden on an elephant recently or on any other animal for that matter except a horse.i may have ridden in my childhood in the numerous fairs but i have no recollection of it.

Wow, Yeah I bet it awesome, sounds like a great experience...I would like to ride an elephant one day.

I rode on an elephant a couple of times when I was a child. I also rode on a camel once. I found it scarier to ride on a camel than on an elephant as the camel had a hump which made it feel like I was swaying from side to side.

That must have been one amazing experience. I rode on an elephant at a fair as a child, but that's not anything like riding an elephant through a jungle. I am completely green with envy.

awgh!! ahaha. I never did. I can imagine how scary it would be to be riding in that biggest animal, and it's too tall? I know it's hard to climb up om the Elephants back. It might be very exciting for others but for me, It is no fun.. hahah Am scared just to think about it.

I have, I was right behind you while you were riding LOL! I felt sorry for some of the elephants there though... I don't feel like they were getting the care they deserved. Did you notice how when we went to the gardens with the cultural show,, the elephants there (and the one we took photos with) look better, cleaner (no slime!!), and happier than in other places.

I rode an elephant around Bristol zoo in the UK when I was a child. It was a great experience but nowhere near as good as riding one in the jungle. You are so lucky to have that chance. I really envy you.

I have! I found it really fun, although I was scared at first. We rode about a mile or so, then we had to stop because it was feeding time. We wanted to go on after but they didn't let us.. oh well :)
