Elephants at Dreamland


Dreamland is a theme park in Bangkok. It has roller coasters like Top Gun and Space Mountain and water rides like Splash Mountain and Roaring Rapids. You can ride an elephant if you like too. We have ridden them and even pass them in the streets while motorbiking in the very rural areas of Thailand. One time, we had the kids with is on the island of Phuket and we were staying in a very nice hotel when what comes walking through the lobby? An elephant! He was alone and walked through a doorway marked "employees". It was one of the weirdest things I have ever seen! I had never seen elephants in the streets of Bangkok until we moved here last month. We were sitting in traffic on a very busy street when all of a sudden an elephant came walking right past us and cut in front of the front of our car! It was unbelievable! Only in Bangkok...
