This is the big day. It the last day of the 10 day Mahout training course. You know what that means. TEST. We had to take a test on our abilities to ride and direct the elephant.





Go forward, reverse and an obstacle course. That the Mahout, Sak, I an giving him a surprise ride. He is a playful guy.

We were tested on getting on and off the elephant using different techniques. They actually scored our results. As you can see we passed. We had good trainers.
I must admit that it was very similar to taking a driving test.
