We decided to stay 1 more day in Kanchanaburi. The weather is perfect, hostel (VN Guesthouse) is great,...so why get back to bangkok in a hurry? Bikes should be there somewhere today, but it means they will still be there tomorrow :-)

We used the first (monthly) gift from Toon, Andries, Karolien, Stijn, Lore, Yves & Babs for some elephant riding and bathing.

The travel agents description of the acitivty is as follows:
"A program is special: Arrive an elephant villages, from that time you will have fun to sit the elephant, ee the nature of the forest, river, elephant village and way of being life of wet elephant nurse and the elephant, and thereafter you will have enjoy and meet with the excitement, by the bath gives the elephant in a river" ?!???

To be honest the riding is OK (fun, but the elephants do the same lap over & over...), on the otherhand the bathing is super.
You ride into the Kwai & get to splash around with an elephant called Bopuh. This part they seem to enjoy a lot more!
Thanks a lot for the experience. We are already looking forward to use the gift in December!
