let the elephant rest in the shade

by richiecdisc

Though the elephant being used did not seem particularly ill-treated, it seems silly to ride an elephant around the base of Wat Phnom just to get a photo of yourself on one of these majestic beasts of burden. At least they aren’t making them lug tourists up to the top of the 27 meter hilltop temple.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
