Elephant riding on Koh Samui

Today myself and Robyn and Tom went and rode elephants into the Koh Samui jungle. We were then treated to an elephant 'show' - and although I have been assured by a local guide that the elephants don't mind doing the tricks involved, it still felt a bit odd watching it all. I videoed it all so that you can judge for yourselves. They are certainly very cute when they grab bananas from your hands! Check the video and the pics:
