Adventure holidays in Ayutthaya, Thailand.




As often as I can do I pay a visit to The Royal Elephant Kraal and Village in Ayutthaya. To sit on the riverbank and watch the elephants having a swim is medicine for body and soul. Only one hour away from Bangkok and here you are, -just sitting peacefully enjoying the sight of these magnificent animals.




People from all corners of the world book in at the village for part of their holidays. They live in huts with aircondition, western style toilet and shower. The food is also excellent.




But they do not come for the food. They come to "bond" with their "own" elephant. To feed, wash, clean, scrubb, ride + to feed, wash, clean, scrubb, ride. I have spoken to many of them -and when the time to say goodbye comes -it is always too early. Most of the visitors return as often as they can.




So why not book yourself an adventure holiday in Ayutthaya ?? A holiday you will never forget !!
