Today was brilliant. We went on our one day teck. We were picked up from where we were staying and taken outside the town. First we visited a orchard and butterfly farm which was a little extra as we didn't know about it. Once we had visited there we drove to elephants. As soon as we parked up we could see them all over the other side of the river. It was so excited and we got out the car as quickly as we could. We had to cross a very long and rickety bridge but I didn't mind because I just wanted to get over and see the elephants. As soon as we got over there we were quickly put not an elephant without time to think. It was pretty high and we were holding on tight to begin with. We had a young Thai boy sitting n the very front of the elephant directing her. It was amazing being in the middle of all the forest with everyone on elephants. It was a bit scary when we went up and down hills as we felt like we were going to tip out. We got to a tree house where we could buy bamboo to feed the elephant and have our photo taken. It was funny feeding the elephants seeing them up tint there trunk back to collect the bamboo from us. After that the young thai boy asked me if I would like to sit on the very from of the elephant. I moved down from our chair and sat on font. It was nice, the elephants skin was so dry and rough. We then went to the river and the elephant walked through it and kept splashing us with his trunk. When we got off our elephant we went to look at the baby elephant who we were told to be careful of as he was the naughtiest elephant. We had lunch and then went for bamboo rafting which was nice and relaxing along the river. Next we drove onto where we would be doing the white water rafting which was quiet far from where we had been and we traveling in the back of this truck. Although the Songkran Festival was finished we still got splashed on the way there. White water rafting was good fun. It was too choppy as the river was low but it made me want to do it more in the future. When we had finished we went t the waterfall which was beautiful and we had time there to climb it and relax there. Me and Amelia thought we were some sort of professional climbers racing to the top first, until we saw a dead bird at the top in the water and quickly turned back and went back down again. It was real nice there. To end the day we went to visit the long necked tribe. I was a little disappointed firstly because I thought we were going to trek there but for some reason he said we wouldn't be doing a long walk today and secondly were we visited the tribe was not were the live but a tourist spot where some of them move to for tourist- stalls with some of the ladies from the tribe selling. It was a really great day anyway and I think next time I would do an over night trek so we could do some more walking and visit stay with the tribe. When we got back we got ready and went to a Mexican resturaunt called Burito's where Matt and Pip had suggested to me. Once we finished dinner we went back to Zoe's for our last night. It was good fun and saw some English guys we had met earlier in the week so we caught up with them.
We stayed till late and headed back to our guest house for bed after a great day.
