Elephant Sanctuary Experience in Chiang Mai, Thailand 🇹🇭

While in Chiang Mai, Thailand, we spent 48 hours feeding, walking, and bathing elephants in the lush green mountains of the countryside. Elephants have been a tremendous part of the Thai culture for hundreds and hundreds of years, so we looked around for an ethical rescued-elephant experience that would allow us to spend some time with the beautiful, majestic creatures. Whenever we weren’t admiring the elephants, we were either soaking up the tranquility of the region from our riverside bungalow, or taking a scenic bamboo raft ride down a jungle river. Join us (and our new elephant friends) for an adventurous two days in Chiang Mai! 🇹🇭

We had SO much fun spending time with the rescued elephants of Chiang Mai 🐘, and our Thailand adventure continues further north, as we venture up to a fully sustainable, organic farm in the sunny countryside of Chiang Rai! 🥬🍅 Stay tuned for next week’s video, where we’ll share our local Thai farm stay experience! 🇹🇭 See you next Saturday, friends!!! 👩🏻‍🌾🧑🏼‍🌾

Perfect adventure 🌸 Organic farm in Thailand countryside!

@ChadandClaire where is it best to do currency exchange while in Chiang Mai? I have a trip here on the 27th of March and want to know if I should convert currency here in the USA or if I should wait till I'm in Thailand (like is the rate better and do you have a recommended place)?

[@kasiek9893]

@@thequeensthief5593 do it in Thailand, you can find do it at the airport if you land during the day. Or walk in to any bank and do the exchange with bank retailer.

ELEPHANTS ARE AS SENTIENT AS WE ARE. THEY FEEL THE SAME EMOTIONS AS THEIR FELLOW HUMANS AND ARE VERY PROTECTIVE OF THEIR BABIES AND THEIR OLDER MEMBERS OF THEIR ELEPHANT SOCIETY IN WHICH THEY FORM VERY CLOSE BONDS. THEY ALSO, WHEN ALLOWED, FORM CLOSE BONDS WITH THEIR FELLOW SENTIENT BEINGS, HUMAN BEINGS.

[@smartdeer777]

OMG....you should eat TOM YUM KUNG with rice, even Thai people we didn't eat TOM YUM KUNG without rice. It is too spicy. However, we are happy to see you enjoy every activity in Thai. Have a nice trip.

What a wonderful place to visit. What is the name of this resort? I will add to our bucket list travels for 2027. I love elephants, they are the gentle giants that we grew up to learn about and cherish in my culture as well. I’m from Laos and have only been back to visit once but will return to do multi country trip. This video is definitely the best I have seen and can relate to. Thank you for sharing your adventures. This made me smile and laugh with nostalgia of my home country.

Curious why the baby is wearing a collar?

[@ClearlyBlissful]

Because it’s not totally ethical to have them interacting with humans.

[@analeez4138]

They’re staying at Karen Tribe Native Elephant Sanctuary in Chiang Mai (pronounce Chee Mai). Usually they can wear the traditional Karen clothes for experience but maybe they were not offered atm. So many mispronounced names of food and locations, but were used to foreigners not knowing how to pronounce names properly. I pick up a few things mispronounced in the video; Tom Yum - Toh Yum Pad Thai - Pah Thai Chiang Mai - Chee Mai. Commonly the most mispronounced word is Bangkok as “Bang Cock” when it really pronounce “Bah Gor”. lol. Anyway, thanks for visit Karen Tribe Native Elephant, hope the experience bring you both back here again.
