Great storytelling in every milli second! I love how the creator built the tension within the story, the camera angles connecting the eyes of the Don and his perspective, and even combined the shots inside the truck! The drone shots were beautifully done too. I love the fact that the truck driver was not upset. He was even calm and kind to them.

I think the craziest thing about elephants is the fact that they never forget anything. Ever. Scientists don't understand how they can remember every single thing. As crazy as that sounds, it's like a human being remembering everything that has ever happened to them, every word they have ever spoken every thought they have ever had from birth. You can dig a hole in the ground, let's say 2 ft Deep by 2 ft wide and ride on the elephant or lead him toward the direction of the whole. When he comes to the whole you step over it, he will go around it. Immediately after he steps Over the Hole, take it and feel it in pack it down put leaves over top of it and go on about your day. A year later, take him on the same path and when he gets to that spot he will walk around it. It doesn't matter if grass is grown up over the area or something else. The elephant will go around instead of stepping on it

The elephant is the national animal of Thailand. Including the flag in the past was an elephant. Elephants are riding vehicles and used in wars by kings and governors of various provinces of Thailand to protect their territories for hundreds of years, and for this reason, as mentioned above, it can be seen that in many national parks throughout the country. In the country of elephants, they are free where they live. But there will be some problems when they eat the vegetables planted by the farmers. It's not bad for Thai people, elephants are animals that we bond with. It's an animal that we respect. and is like a family from past to present❤

The route is very famous in Thailand. There usually a family of elephant waiting for 10 of trucks to deliver their tolls. It's so famous that people just go there to see them eating the sugar cane. And don't worry about their safety, there are park ranger controlling the traffics and make sure the trucks don't idel too long and elephants are out of harms way when they get going.

First of all I want to thank you for such a wonderful series on elephants. I must say that it's the best series I have ever watched on any fauna. I got tears in my eyes watching Episode on desert elephants. It was such a pleasure to gather tones of information about the giants eg. the way elephants successfully climb down the mountain, avoided flash floods in the desert, the toll collector, successfully adjusting to live near human settlements etc. are few of the best examples. Keep spreading love thanks once again for such a masterpiece ❤

No vandalism, No humans were harmed. Real time example of ‘How one would react’ when he gets the rightful share from this universe ! Not even a single scratch on the truck’s body or broken windshields. It’s just when people over react and avoid one’s grievances the opposite of this happens. Excellent documentation of this Real world scenario ! Humans or be it animals, no one is bad. They just reflect their environment within which they live !
