May 14, 2009: Elephant Riding

Actually people riding an elephant riding an elephant.



I sent this to Leah, the Aussie elephant girl, a couple days ago and now it seems to be popping up all over the net, so what the hell.

Sex tourism plus elephant trekking all in one.

Thailand - the tourist's paradise.

Love the expression on the woman on the front elephant. Looks like she is feeling it herself.

Is that an "O" face?

ejaculatio praecox

I think there ist reason to belief that the elephant suffers from ejaculatio praecox.
Anyway, the mahout (elephantguide) knows exactly whats going on.
During the musth period it is quite irresponsible riding an elephant.

The back one is just fueling the front one..

I think the front one just stopped really quick and the back one reared up trying to stop. No?

For some reason the mahout on the rear elephant has traded seats with the passenger, Which is most likely the reason this happened.

You're spot on there capn, changing seats like this is fairly normal.
I did an elephant trek in Thailand, and the mahout let me sit up front for more than half of the journey. Hey, to him its a job and he was getting to kick back and relax. To me it was something new and interesting and I got to enjoy it fully. The elephant knew perfectly well where to go so I only pretended to steer.

At one point the front elephant stopped to eat and mine .... drum-roll .... just walked around it (how disappointing). But it completely ignored my ear-tugging commands to turn or stop. After that I realised who was really in charge and that I should just hang on and enjoy the view.

Well when the traffic is backed up like that, there's bound to be a fucking accident.

I wonder if this happened to be on a Wednesday?

Kolbenfresser, I just love the Anglo-German tone of your post.
Moar pls!

The expression of the lady in red on the receiving one is priceless. "Oooooh..... I didn't know elephants did THAT."

Reminds me of this old favorite. These tourists had that shocked look too. "Oh my God! Look and the schlong on that thing!"

When I was in Sri Lanka I found the elephants slightly ... creepy? Sexual? Preeverts?
All I know is I didn't like them.

I have a photo of me, creeped out, with a nasty trunk slinking in my vicinity. I'd just said something like, "Take it! Quick, now! Before it touches me!" I'll find it for you.

Soz to those who like the 'phants. Like dogs and children, I'm out of step with the rest of humanity.

I loved the pic's Bruce, cheers. I've been on an elephant that's been very very keen on another elephant, but hell, nothing like that one. How funny.

Hi Leah!

great to see you again!

I'm always here, always looking, not so many comments these days, sorry.
