I wanted to ride the elephant It was a litte ride around the dirt field for 10 min…they wanted more money when they took pictures
Fun experience riding in a boat shopping, though be warned, not for anyone with limited mobility. Quite difficult getting in and out of the boats. Once the way most ‘locals’ shopped but it soon became evident it was a tourist draw card. A good variety of food available. Some bargains to be had that not seen at other tourist haunts.
