Hmm.. would you be interested to get a free vaccine and at the same time a free ride on an elephant. Elephants are still a lot in Surin. Surin by the way is a province in Thailand where elephants are one of their main tourist attractions. They encourage the residents to get a jab by offering a free elephant ride. As you see the vaccinator is also on top of a high platform so the resident doesn't need to get down. Interesting and fun isn't it.
Now go get your jab. 
On a personal note:
(I don't have yet, though 
[ I don't encourage people to ride on the elephant here before because of exploitation.
Thanks to MGRonline for the picture and the news.

It would be okay, as long as they don't make me be the elephant...
Pretty and I rode on an elephant when she was six or seven years old. The local zoo was raising money for some charity event and donated the money paid for the rides to the charity.... We had a lot of fun.

by the way, if you don't mind, how tall are you?

@RebeccasFarm see that's why I discouraged elephant ride, before. Watch them. I will take a picture of elephants here a lot.

Oh my if you would see the elephant's hind ears, you will see how they were trained. It is like when they make a mistake they will have a pinch in their beautiful ears.

Yes, I think there are thinking of more ways to vaccinate the residents. If Thailand plans to open for tourism, soon.

The elephants are well trained, which I opposed on the manner of training them before. It's really heartbreaking.
