Elephant Trekking~~

Hello Elephant~~

Elephant are cute...

But so smelly ler..duh..=P

Went for elephant trekking for the very first time..

I don't think i will go for it again next time..

Yea..it's fun for us..

But, poor elephants were suffering ler..=(

They had been forced to carry us..

They lost their freedom for us..
They don't have chance to say a big "No"..

Ish..Kinda sad for them..

Ok, back to the topic..

Elephant Trekking..

No doubt, it's a good experience ridding on an elephant..

It's a big scary at first, but u will start enjoying afterward..

Overall it's fun..ahaha..

Prove to u our great experience with the elephant..=P

Went to the destination by this car..

Yo..excited~~ahaha..

Elephant!!

 

I can't remember how much we paid for the elephant trekking..
 But it's below 900baht/person as shown in the pic..
 We also signed this package with DDC Tour & Travel ..
Based on our experience,
it will be much more cheaper if we sign the package with travel agency than we go by ourselves..

100 baht/basket..

Why this banana so expensive?
With RM10 i can buy a lot banana in Malaysia..lol

They are "bringing" the elephants to us..

This is Dodo..
She is only 7 years old..
My boy and me depended on her for our elephant trekking..=)
Thankyou Dodo..


The elephant trekking start~~~

See..everyone so exciting~~

I thought the whole trekking will be in the jungle..
Know what..that's was a big big disappointed thing happen..
They brought us to the road side..
and and and
They wasted our time on showering the elephant..

Ish..
We just got 1 hour time for trekking..
and
We wasted like 20 mins on elephant showering section..
around 15 mins on photographs sections..
Duh, felt like been cheated ler~~

Showering the elephant..
They so smelly, no need shampoo mer?! =P

OMG..boo boo while showering..puffffffffff..
No wonder they still smelly even after shower..lol

Dodo's rough skin..

The back side of Dodo..
Felt the uncomfortable for the elephant..
If something stuck at your ass, what do u feel huh?
Duh..

Step on Dodo..
I just put my feet on it very slowly and softly..
I was afraid to hurt Dodo..
I can't imaging if the elephant suddenly get angry and we are still on her back..lol
But no worries..
The elephants were friendly..i think so..=)

The sweet couple..Mou Leong and Lee Siang..

Sik Yen and Yen Sin were so happy to get the flower on their ears..
The happiness in their heart can been clearly seen from their face expression..
No feeling hiding...=P

The pretty gals were acting cute..lol

My baby boy and me..

As promised, they brought us to the sea view scene during elephant trekking..
The view is really nice..
But so limited ler~~

That's all for the sea view section..lol
Felt like &%^$%#^(&% right? ish..

Group photo~~


 

See..Dodo was so active..She was happy i think..=P
That time she actually trying to blow the air out from her trunk..
At the same time, the water came out together with the air..
Know what, i can feel it..
Yucks...naughty Dodo...

Dodo size was bigger compare to the other two elephants..
I think she was the older one between them..
The elephant riding by Sik Yen and Yen Sin was a boy..
Only male elephant got tusks..

Dodo was trying to blow the air again..lol
So naughty..
Dodo is very clever too..
When her master gave a command like :" Dodo happy enjoy!"
She will raised her trunk and make a sound like "pooooppp"
Very funny..
I tried to gave the command too..
But failed...
Chiewwww~~~

They were trying to shake-hand or hug?

Bro and Sis..ahaha..

 Dodo and us~~

The couple~~

Duh~~ Boo-ing..

A close look~~ahahaha..
Yucks....
The elephants kept on boo here and there for the whole journey..
I repeat..it's whole journey..
So many "sai" mer?lol

On the way back...

Bye bye Dodo~~
Thanks a lot for the ride~~

-The End-

James Bond Island~~

Sawadee ka~~

James Bond Island blog post now~~ =)

James Bond Island tour is a bit different from Phi Phi Island tour..

No snorkeling here, but canoeing!!

For James Bond island tour, we chose to ride long tail boat instead of speed boat..

The sea wave were much more calm compare to Phi Phi island..

So small boat such as long tail boat are able to move around the islands..

Compare the speed boat and long tail boat,

I personally prefer long tail boat more..

Although long tail boat was not as comfortable as speed boat do, the feeling of riding long tail boat was different..erm...like more tranditional?!lol..i have no idea on how to explain my feeling..If u have chance, choose to ride the long tail boat ya..ahahaha.. 

Furthermore, the tour with long tail boat is cheaper than the speed boat do..

So, choose long tail boat ya..=P

If not mistaken, James Bond Island tour cost us 

700 baht/person (long tail boat)

and

1100 baht/person (speed boat)..

Actually, the tour price will be vary by time/season..

Now is low season, so we get cheaper price..

If during peak season, i think the price may double up..

Anyway,

U can contact Ploy for more information..

Try to bargain for the lowest price..ahahaha..

Schedule of the tour:

Took us quite a long time (i can't remember the actual time time..lol..1 hour++ maybe..==") to reach here..

My boy and the uncle that guided us..
He is very friendly and nice too..
He can speak a little bit hokkien..
Great, at least we still can communicate with him..
He did asked for some tips, so we gave him 60 baht..
The only money that leave in the pocket..lol

That uncle said the fruits on the trees can be eaten..
But i got no guts to try it..
I was so afraid to get stomachache during travelling time..lol

This boy was very happy..

That uncle also proved to us that the water level is actually very shallow..

Time to test your creativity and imagination..
This cave looks like what?
Well, it's a big head..with a big nose and mouth..
