Which Asia Contiki Tour can you ride an elephant, and what is the place called?

yes you can ride an elephand on the Asian adventure, tour. In Laos in Luang Prabang. but it cost $50 USD. what I did when I was in Bangkok was go to the tiger temple and got to ride an elephant for an extra 300baht = $15 AUD it was great and we got to see a show with the elephants and got to hold a baby gibbon monkey. very cute. The elephants are usually used for carring wood but when they are not being used for tat they do tourist rides, and the money goes to pay for food for the elephants. there were about 40 elephants there babys and all. the ride in Laos only have 8 elephants.
The tiger temple is 2hrs out of bangkok and its were you get to sit and pat tigers and have your photos taken with them.
good luck and enjoy your travels

Thanks Jacqui, that info really helped, will definitely ride the elephants and pat the tigers, ta ta.
