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!!! 👩🏻‍🌾🧑🏼‍🌾

      @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)?

    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.

    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.
