We got to have rides on their backs but the clincher is that we were taught how to ride them ourselves without a driver! We even took them down to the river for a dip.

Elephant Village
This was really cool! In Luang Prabang we spent a day in an "Elephant Village" - a place set up for tourism to give out of work logging elephants a chance to earn their keep. Logging is effectively illegal in Laos and so these expensive elephants who can't survive in the wild themselves would simply die of starvation if this project wasn't run.
