How To Get an Elephant to Move

At the Maesa Elephant Camp near Chiang Mai. Sometimes an elephant was holding up the line. I think this one stopped to eat the grass. It also looks pregnant.

At the Maesa Elephant Camp near Chiang Mai. The elephant ride took about an hour. The elephants were walking very slowly, sometime stopping to eat along the way. It was not a smooth ride.
