Today we visited Patara Elephant Farm and was able to meet and pet baby elephants.
We were then able to follow the elephants to their water hole for a bathing session. It was beautiful to watch the elephants interact with the water and each other.
I was able to get a pic of me being hugged by an elephant:
We got lunch at (what looked liked) a couples’ resort with a wonderful view.
After lunch, we went to the Doia Sukthep temple, which we had to walk up about 360 steps to get to. The ascension wasn’t as bad as I thought and the heat wasn’t unbearable at the top. This was the biggest temple we had seen so far. It had multiple praying rooms and a courtyard of statues. We even saw a few monks. A man was there with a cat and its kitten (which my friend asked for a picture of. Can’t blame her though, they were in the cutest cat book bag).
We went back to the hotel to get ready for another night of nightlife. We went to Warm-Up, a Thai club (which looked similar to bars in the states) that had multiple dance floors with different types of live music at each floor. It was SUPER crowded, but they played a lot of familiar music. I left early with a few other girls to get enough sleep for the next day.
