The time that my friend started his high-school in US.
His classmate asked him whether we still use an elephant as a transportation........
My friend..he's a really funny guy.
He answered the question with......
" Yes, we still ride an elepant...in thailand we have sort of " elephant taxi".
and u can " bring ur elephant " with u wherever u want."
He also told his classmates that his father sold his elephant so he could go aboard for his higher education.
His classmates didn't look down him in the first place na ka. They were just a high-school kid. They knew little about Thailand and they knew about the elephant for the movies ka.
