Yeah I had that experience once during my visit to Thailand few years back. It was included in our entry fees and the place was wild safari. I have to say that it was some other kind of experience while ride on top of elephant.....have a very good view as it was quite high but its not very nice to be on top...LOL....imagine how's elephant walk you can figure it out:)

Yes. I and members of my family and members of my-brother-in-law family had been to a forest known as Bandipur (It is a tiger sanctuary). At the sanctuary, the authorities said we can go into forest on a elephant (1/2 km only). 12 of us got on the elephant (there was seating arrangement on the body) and we had a very memorable ride.They charged 20C for each person.

I have gone on a few elephant rides at the zoon and at the cicus. I think there was a small charge a both. I think they lasted 2-3 minutes. Elephants are cool. It is ashame that so many trainers abuse them.
