Annie and I took an elephant ride while visiting Koh Chang Island in Thailand. Chang means Elephant in Thai and we had a very enthusiastic Burmese driver who was happy to take this photo. The elephant's name was Sunshine and she was always looking to stop for a snack. Annie eventually got a chance to ride on her head and drive the elephant. The farm we visited had 12 elephants and they were all females because they tend to be easier to control.
