Thailand was the first country I visited in the far east. It has a rich culture of temples. Bangkok is its capital.

 Riding
on Elephants. |
 Elephants
in the water.. |
 An
more of them getting wet.. |
 Here
I was allowed to sit in fornt. I liked this a lot better since the normal
rider used an axe to drive the Elephants. Therefore for me this was a once
in a lifetime experience as I do not like the cruel way these Elephants
are raised. |
 To
my opinion Elephants are supposed to live in
the wild like in Africa...But for once it was a fun ride. |
 Erawan
Falls, Where little fish tickle you. These falls were also used during the
Birma war, as these fish clen the wounds. Its a good swim here, but quite
a strange feeling with the fish eating the salt of your body. |
