Tues Apr 20 – elephant trek, dinner with palm’s parents


The afternoon adventure included an obligatory elephant ride, complete with a British family of 4, which seemed to make the whole thing like something out of a movie set. The little boy’s name was Monty, and at one point, his little sister gave him a sharp jab with her index finger and declared, “Naughty boy!” Her mother followed this instantaneously with a sharp index finger jab of her own, directed at the daughter, saying, "Don't you dare!" (I think I figured out where the little girl was taking cues...something that hopefully won't become too painfully obvious in my own parenting!)

The surprise ending included a tour of a fish farm, where you could toss in fish kibble and watch the water erupt with seemingly thousands of hungry (sometimes hideous) fish mouths.

Scary fish! (below)

Prettier fish

The evening was capped off with another delicious Thai meal with Palm’s family. We were champs and tried the fish stomach dish. No one at the table was a true fan of this one, though.
