The elephant ride along the river was meant to be a peaceful two-hour experience, but just five minutes in, the unexpected shower caught me off guard.” Worried about losing his selfie stick to the playful elephants or having it swept away by the river’s current, Clayton found himself in a hilarious predicament.
