How to ride an elephant
It made me
tickled pink 
"Not nearly as rough as I'd imagined it to be!"
How I did it: Went to Thailand, found a travel agent, booked an elephant trek, paid 700 baht and that was that. We had an option to do a 30 minute, hour-long, or 1.5 hour long trek and chose to do the 30 minute one since we had a ferry to catch to Koh Phangan in the afternoon.
