This was our full day seeing the temples. In order to get into Angkor Wat, each person has to be photographed for security. Mack, our guide arranged for us to start the day with an elephant ride. I had to climb some ladder steps to a platform with our driver right behind me. Then I was helped to sit in the double seated carrier behind the mahout.
I gripped the front railing of the carrier with my right hand and the back edge with my left hand. My left foot rested on the elephant and my right leg simply dangled as the elephant lumbered from side to side, MANY tourists photographed us before we disembarked at another platform. I probably don’t need to repeat the experience.
