Jeju Island is seen as a distant and exotic location by Koreans. (You can imagine what it was like for us Americans.) So it was strange when, after the volcanic garden, the bus tour stopped at a Thailand-themed outdoor theater.
We didn’t see that coming.
Wasn’t Jeju exotic and strange enough? How does Thailand fit into this picture? I have no idea about any historic connection between Korea and Thailand, and this place made me itch for a map of Asia to try to figure it out.
While we contemplated this mystery, we rode a cute little Indian elephant.
There was a big elephant show, with elephants doing tricks and stuff. We skipped that. While everyone else was in the theater, Steph and I hung out in the back and watched the elephants in the green room, or the trailer… or the barn, whatever you call it. We watched the elephants backstage.
It seemed a lot more authentic. And fun. Watch for the wrangler calling the elephant, and the elephant tossing back a cool one. It’s priceless.
If you're headed to Korea, take a look.
