Reunited With My Elephant After Years Apart 🇹🇭 (Chiang Mai, Thailand)

[@samsularefin7682]

Honestly not sure why I'm crying after seeing this. We love you two and love watching your videos...but this one was something else. When the camera zoomed on Pangwat's eyes, i couldn't hold on to my tears. Thanks for sharing this amazing experience guys. I know where we are going when we visit Chian Mai. Love from Bangladesh

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you for leaving this comment for us so we know our stories carry purpose and impact on others like yourself. We're sure Pangwat will be very happy to know someone is going all the way there to meet her 😊

[@coryudon3350]

I swear I am not crying 😭😭😭😭. I love elephants so much. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@FloraandNote]

Aww..they are truly gentle giants 😊

[@ErikBlair]

The freckles on Pangwat's trunk seem to form the shape of a heart.

[@tomcarter9364]

Crying when you met your friend. Loved this episode!

[@johngagne986]

Cory I can not say the same! Flora and Note often bring me to a place of joy that I have top wipe tears from my eyes. Just beyond words. Thank you my friends. I will be sure to visit Pangwat and bring her your love.

[@FloraandNote]

We owe you a box of tissues for all the tears you've shed 😝 Thank you John.

[@johngagne986]

@@FloraandNote LOL. Its ok. I've been using my shirt sleeve and this old thing needs to spend time at the laundry anyway! 😂

[@evelyncsaba8412]

WOW❣️I’m so touched by your beautiful reunion with Pangwat❤️Flora, noticed Pangwat’s eyes, animals have a soul…😍

[@drymoper2234]

Elephant have the longest memories....she eill remember you even if its like 10 years ago ......like they say ...elephant never forgets ❤

[@alwynho]

The caretakers are really taking good of her and so did we when we visited the Sanctuary to see her. Thank you Note for the recommendation and for us meet your sister and playing with her.

[@jacquelinewade5283]

Wonderful, I shall make sure I come here when I visit Thailand... Tears in my eyes now ❤

[@shawnmark7899]

So lovely! Must be so emotional for Note when he saw Pangwat! Love this video!

[@IanChav]

4am in Calgary but I always wait for you guys. Normally I watch, then comment the next day. This time I'll comment instantly. I love your sister/Pangwat. The elephant sanctuary looks like so much fun. Chiang Mai looks amazing. Love you guys. Go Young Rice, lol

[@FloraandNote]

You watch us at 4am? Now I feel bad for making you watch all the food videos at that hour 😅 Thanks for tuning in Ian!

[@IanChav]

@@FloraandNote I wait for your episode like I do TV shows, You guys are so fun to watch and make me smile. This just means you get two views per episode. I go back and check you old ones again too, even though I've already watch them all. Keep making videos, they make us smile.

[@robertxerri134]

Glad you are supporting a humane elephant preserve that doesn't shackle the animals. BTW, Note - you look much more relaxed driving now. Smart choice of reliable cars.

[@FloraandNote]

Good ol' Richard does the job! But slightly less exciting when things always go as planned haha

[@antruok4950]

A beautiful area - Chiang Mai has so much more than we generally see - The elephant interaction tour was excellent - Thanks for taking us along 😃✔️👋👌👍🙏

[@FloraandNote]

We agree, Chiang Mai city itself is lovely but there's a lot to see in the outer districts like Mae Taeng, Chiang Dao, Mae Rim, Mae Wang etc...

[@leeleng1458]

Elephants have good memories so for sure Pangwat will recognize Note. This kind of video is the main reason why I never miss any of yours. Thanks!

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you Lee 😍 We'll keep at it!

[@EarthCamper]

Really nice to meet ur childhood friend pangwat

[@kalyasiri]

Touching story...I did go to Maeteng few years ago with 2 Thai friends when a holy monk Parinibana ( Passed away) ..the monk i respected so much. I didn't know any elephant sanctuary... Maybe next time I will stop over ...

[@DominicHalsey-du2cr]

That is such a beautiful Elephant. Flora and Note I love how you both always show the beauty and nature of every Thai city you both visit. I hope ican meet you both in Thailand this May.

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you Dominic! Glad to hear you're going to Thailand this May. Which cities are you visiting?

[@DominicHalsey-du2cr]

@@FloraandNote Bangkok and some other cities. Hope to have a good vacation in Thailand.

[@desolator108]

Beautiful countryside scenes 😊😊😊, nice video guys 😊

[@sgraham005]

A great episode. Glad you are back to Flora & Note in Thailand formula..You guys are great. Note's mom's Elephant seems very healthy. Sure Note's mom misses her. PS Don't let Note buy another "special project" vehicle. 555

❤this episode and the chance for you to reconnect with Pangwat- super interesting info on the elephants as well xx safe travels

[@koisaechao1]

Note and Flora, wonderful video. I love your sister elephant. I will go see her when I to visit Chiang Mai.

[@Cottoncandy17890]

Aww so sweet video!!! Panwaa Is super cute ❤❤❤ keep it up guys 🌈🌻🏵️💛💕

[@carleto9597]

Another good elephant sanctuary your at, I was way up north of Chiang Mai to a different elephant sanctuary was very good too. So enjoy your past and now revisit to Chiang Mai. Take care

[@FloraandNote]

It's definitely easier to find a ethical sanctuary in Chiang Mai than some of the other cities in Thailand.

[@martinakrook]

Another great video, thanks! I've never seen anyone having had an elephant before, so cool. And she seemed like the sweetest animal ever. And what a fun idea with the group trip, sounds really exciting : )

[@FloraandNote]

It was so nice to see that she's happy and healthy in her forever home now 😊

[@sharonjacob4469]

Flora is righf…..nature is amazing!!

[@julienrocher1]

I have watched a lot of Thai videos and yours is definitely the best. The photography is outstanding and I feel the things you do too. Take care and thanks for everything.

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@messex-australia9700]

Looks so good. Elephant's are amazing creatures. Hopefully, I will be back to Thailand next year, and i hope to see chaing mai.

[@FloraandNote]

That sounds like a great plan! We love Chiang Mai especially in the winter season :)

[@jomontanee]

I love to have a house in the rural rice field someday. Watching the sunrise over the greenery…….❤❤

[@FloraandNote]

That's the dream!

[@kathleenhui3665]

Happy Chinese New Year! Great to see you visiting your sister again, Pangwa,👍

[@FloraandNote]

Happy Chinese New Year! 😊😊😊

[@jeya2809]

I have been to a elephant santuary in sri lanka and memories came from that trip. They also made paper from the poo of the elephants. Enjoyed the bonding. Thanks for the content. Keep enjoying your thai exploration ❤

[@billydong9640]

That Sunrise right at the beginning brings smiles back to my face .. just like it down south in the Pakse region of Laos after a night of Lightning strikes throughout the night .. then the blast of fresh clean air 🤗☺️. Thank you for the memories of the Elephant farms as well🙏🙏 Pangwat is such a cutie pie 🥰

[@billydong9640]

Road Tripppppp… 🖐️ Calling Shotgun 😉😂. That would be so kewl 🙏🙏

[@MO2zz]

And another great rom-com episode 😍.

[@jnk3775]

So exited to join the journey with you. God bless you both. I enjoy it.

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you so much 😊

[@RobRodin]

What a moving and informative video. The smile on Notes' face when he saw his childhood friend brought a tear to my eye.So nice of him to Facetime with Mom what a great son. 😇This place will be on my list for my next trip to Chiang Mai. When Note picked up the elephant poop I was like what is he going to do with that? Too Funny. Thanks for making my day #ElephantLove

[@sshetty9683]

Very awesome

[@MancTraveller]

This was awesome and very emotional

[@dianev113]

I have been to Chiang Mai 3 times. This was a wonderful video!! I think Note your sister was so distracted by so many people that it may have seemed she did not remember you. I have heard elephants do not forget. 🙏😊🐘 26:08

[@FloraandNote]

It's also hard to tell because she is so gentle and kind with everyone. But as long as she's happy and healthy, we're happy too 😊

[@LethalLee666]

such a beautiful video guys loved the elephants

[@RealityTrek420]

How did you shoot the sequence at 4:19? I still find it fascinating that only two of you film these shots while on the expedition. It's just great film work.

[@MichMichMe]

So sweeeeet! ❤❤❤

At suvarnabhum airport I've seen coconut selling for as high as 250 thb XD

[@ptkchiu]

Definitely remember Note telling me on numerous occasions that he had elephants... and now reunited! It's a full circle story, so glad Pangwat is living her best life!

[@FloraandNote]

He used the same pick up line on you? 😂

[@watpuvinkulkarntawat9939]

Fun fact, Thai elephants like to be call P Yai’ or Por Yai’ then follow by their name. It means big brother or big father, they like to hear us showing respect to them. People only call only elephants name to baby elephants.

[@danauyeta563]

Will you go to Pai?

[@FloraandNote]

Not this trip but we went there last year and made a video there 😊

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Now I know how to cut coconut

[@ronbeaubien]

So, does that mean that Note's family are from the Karen ethnic group in Thailand? I've read that members of the Karen tribe in Northern Thailand have long been the main handlers / caretakers of the elephants in the country.

[@FloraandNote]

No he’s not related to the Karen tribe. His family is from Esan (northeastern Thailand) and moved to the North to live and work.

[@somchaisakulkoo889]

Her name is Panward not Pungwat in Thai - ปานวาด = as painting.

[@jiatong8803]

ร้อนไหมครับที่เชียงใหม่

[@FloraandNote]

It’s not hot right now but smokey season is starting soon. It was lovely from Nov till now though.

[@H.Witcher]

Lol, one fibre ball for each but two for Pangwat.

[@kathleenhui3665]

I would love to travel to Malaysia next time 😉😃

[@FloraandNote]

We'll try to make that happen 😉

[@ethanlee7125]

Did Pangwat ever have any babies? Where's the teeth? Haha

[@Khamlamaloon]

ขอโทษนะครับ คุณพี่ผู้ชายเป็นคนประเทศอะไรหรือครับ

[@FloraandNote]

We’re from Canada but Note is Thai and I’m from Hong Kong 😊

[@santsuma]

@ 20:14 the care taker says male elephants like to be alone because the herd leaders are female and they don't likle to be under a female leader, UNLIKE HUMANS...LOL!
