I am unsure as to whether 4 days on an elephant trekking through the jungle is for me. Has anyone done this trip that can tell me a little more about what to expect? I am adventurous and love animals, used to do alot of horse riding and enjoyed forestry tracks however I am not a trekker (not that energetic) and do not like to be too uncomfortable for too long. The idea of sleeping on a flat mat under a tarp is not appealing to me, staying at the jungle inn honeymoon suite, sure is.
My partner says 4 days on an elephant would be torturous and I can see that it might be, but then surely it would be an adventure…. just how uncomfortable is it?

Hi Ms Lin,
I dont think these elephants are trained to paint, but definitely trekking around the jungle. Yes, the ones in Thailand are very “artistic” indeed as we have witnessed ourselves.

In Thailand, some elephants have been trainned up to do painting.
