“I am going to become a mahout, to learn to drive an elephant. We trek along overgrown jungle paths towards the river where the elephants have slept. This is all part of the Anantara Resort and Spa?s 160-acre grounds. It?s located near the historic town of Chiang Saen in the heart of the hill country where Burma, Laos and Thailand converge and where the Mekong river forms a natural border.” - Times Online
