    I've sworn in more than one occasions I'd never go to Thailand because of their treatment of elephants. This woman changed my mind and I'd my most probably pay that country a visit.

    I miss Thailand so much. I visited an elephant sanctuary when I was in Chaing Mai. You could only feed, bathe and wash the elephants. No riding. That day I found out they stay pregnant for two years. I still remember the only baby that was there at the time Lana. She was getting in trouble for eating all the decorative flowers 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

      Don't book a ticket to India just yet , Chiang Mai is a province in the north of Thailand 😁

    we can do our part by boycotting this tourist industry and supporting this sanctuary instead!

      Good idea, I was once at a tourist place like that there but I was assured that the animals were treated properly.....well now I not sure they are

    • @jollyjokress3852
      @jollyjokress3852 Před 4 lety +1

      Definitely. I'd never go to a elephant circus or these shows where elephants paint pictures.
      And I 'll preach that, too!

    Thai vets literally just revived a wild elephant that got in a manhole with CPR. To do CPR on an elephant, multiple people had to jump up and down. It was amazing.

    "I angry.I angry with human" Me too!
    I'm disappointed at how irresponsible we are when we should've been the caretakers of the world.

    Our country takes care of elephants better than many African countries.
