One of the few highlights of my week in Sumatra, Indonesia was the day I got to ride a “domestic” elephant. Not a great way to take photographs, but something different to do. The elephants seem to be happy enough and the handlers apparently treat them well and have a good relationship with them. I didn’t see anything to indicate otherwise. Every day after trekking, they get washed in the river and seem to really enjoy it as they roll over for the rub down.
