Elephants in Southern Thailand

A group brainstorm...

Today we are going on an Elephant trek.  At breakfast we compiled some curiosities about elephants which we'll try to answer later this morning.

Why are elephants used like horses (ie. for riding)?
Are they still used as work elephants?
What do they smell like?
Do they feel hot in the sun?
How will we get on them?
Are they still killed for tusks?  Do Asian elephants even have tusks?
