In Ontario, today is Family Day. I thought a family photo would be appropriate for the Monday Morning Series. Introducing, Elephant Bath Time in Thailand.
I spent some time on the River Kwai while in Thailand. We stayed on river rafts and had an opportunity to ride elephants. Every day the family of elephants would have a scrub down in the river – bath time!
Happy Monday Morning.

Posted by angeldn3 | February 20, 2012, 8:19 amThanks – have loved getting out there and exploring – looking forward to doing more.
Posted by Anita Mac | February 20, 2012, 8:43 amVery cool idea. And a great photo!
Posted by blisstravelsnews | February 20, 2012, 8:23 amIt was tonnes of fun – the elephants were such flirts! Tickle your knee caps for bananas and treats. Bath time was a hoot to watch.
Posted by Anita Mac | February 20, 2012, 8:44 amGreat pic!
Posted by David Kanigan | February 20, 2012, 10:06 amHow cute is that? Looks like fun.
Posted by orples | February 20, 2012, 10:18 amOh, I’d love to meet elephants someday! Great image!
Posted by KatiesCameraBlog | February 20, 2012, 11:23 amDefinately looks like fun….. for the elephants. Imagine having to wash one yourself. I suspect the elephants help a little. Don’t do this if you don’t want to get wet!!!!! Thank you for this Monday photo. Lovely.
Posted by katehobbs | February 20, 2012, 12:49 pmMy pleasure. I believe the elephants were having some fun – beware of water spouts and flapping ears. Would have been so refreshing in the heat too!
Posted by Anita Mac | February 22, 2012, 7:23 pmLove this photo! What fun. Thanks for the Monday photo to keep me smiling the rest of the week.
Posted by f-stop mama | February 20, 2012, 5:31 pmFamily day is an Ontario thing? I thought it was country wide!
Posted by 2 Rivers Photos | February 20, 2012, 8:50 pmFamily day is in many, but not all provinces. I am glad we have it – it makes for a nice little break! Other provinces get days that we don’t get – think it just depends on where you live.
Posted by Anita Mac | February 22, 2012, 7:24 pmGreat photo! After visiting Thailand, and bathing an elephant I love those creatures. They are gentle giants.
Posted by Travel Teacher | February 21, 2012, 8:57 amThey are. Had such a great time with them….too bad I couldn’t bundle them up and bring them home. Don’t know that they would enjoy a Canadian winter – will have to return to visit them instead!
Posted by Anita Mac | February 26, 2012, 10:30 amI love this picture!!! I want to get close to an elephant!!
Posted by Virginia | February 21, 2012, 8:21 pmMeeting elephants must have been so cool!
Posted by Lauren | February 21, 2012, 8:30 pmVery cool. Wish I had a good picture of me riding one. Guess I will just have to go back!
Posted by Anita Mac | February 22, 2012, 7:24 pmWhat a perfect excuse to return!
Posted by Lauren | February 22, 2012, 9:21 pmLOVE IT – Thanks for sharing:)

Posted by Farrukh | March 5, 2012, 7:21 amAw wow! I see why you liked my post now… Did you see all of the comments underneath though? It made me so sad, and I think I would probably not ride an elephant again as a result…

Posted by Emma's Bucket List | March 13, 2012, 5:51 pmI hear what you are saying – it was sad to see them rather thin. On the other hand, I saw no signs of mistreatment where we were staying and I am guessing the money goes a long way towards feeding the family who managed the river raft place that I stayed. I remain torn on the issue – but my childhood love of elephants and the excitement over getting to ride and feed them won out!
