The elephant is considered sacred in Thailand and is the symbol of their nation. The white elephant is a royal symbol. Legend has it that the elephant represents marriage, the husband is the front legs that choose the direction, the wife is the back legs that provide the power.
It was Edmund’s first time to ride an elephant. He said it was difficult because it was bouncy-bouncy.
He couldn’t remember how much the ride cost because everything was pre-arranged and paid for by Ford. He also doesn’t remember the name of this place, except that it’s also in Chiang Rai.
