ha! you travelled in a mini matatu. Asian elephants are so gentle. I can't imagine African one's being that friendly. As always, great video.

Enjoying the Thailand episodes so much❤

Great, amazing video

Awww GENTLE GIANTS!!❤❤ 13:51 And all the cutest animals EVER! The little baby pigs. The little chubby chicken. The sweet goats. And the most adorable turtle!!❤❤

Awesome. Please everyone that watches this donate to protect these great animals before they are gone for good.

Asian elephants are big 😲😲, I did not realise they are that big. Also their stories 😢😢😢. I'm greatful for such sanctuaries. This vid had me teary eyed and smiling, love it ☺☺❤❤

Beautiful!! What a great day and a lovely elephant experience 🥰 thanks for sharing!!

While bathing elephants itself isn’t harmful, it’s the process to get the elephants to go against their natural instinct to avoid humans that’s often unethical. That’s why truly ethical sanctuaries usually have an observe rather than disturb approach. This makes sense if you think about it. In nature, elephants would not normally come in direct contact with humans. So how are these operators ‘training’ elephants to bathe with unfamiliar humans? As a traveller, you’ll never know what happens behind the scenes. Therefore, the best approach is to visit sanctuaries that encourage observation rather than direct contact with elephants. I’m doing I school project on elephant abuse in Thailand, I go to UWCT in Phuket and I came across this video and I thought I should say something, a truly ethical elephant sanctuary would be like Phuket elephant nature reserve for example.

The elephants are such good behavior, they just stand still for your mud bath, that was really nice. 😁😄 good place.

Amazing video! I've been researching this place for a while, and wanted to see a detailed video including how people felt about how the elephants are treated. I'm planning on going here in January when I'm in Phuket, and I'm glad to hear the elephants here are well looked after 😊

Great experience indeed. Obviously elephants are remarkable animals.

You guys are really sweet. I don't want to rain on the elephant parade, but when elephants are still undergoing the kind of tragic mental (and physical) effects that are left from their previously cruel, grueling lives, they should not be put in a situation where they have to interact with humans like this. There are other sanctuaries, like Elephant Nature Park, where elephants like those you saw weaving and the one who wouldn't walk more than a step forward and backward, would not have to deal with tourists. They have areas where they can be away from tourists, where these elephants can heal, usually by being part of an elephant family if they're ready.

Ellies have my ❤ Amazing vlog you guys 😊

😍😍

Love love love….what an experience amazing 💕

Love this😍

That was an exciting trip!!

I'm so addicted to your vlogs I feel like I've traveled to many places through your videos 🥰... Big Ups and keep them coming 💯 🙌🔥

Great video, i love the giants too

Found this so emotional I’d love to go seeing how well these beautiful creatures are now looked after. So sad they’ve had to work so hard. I’m a wheelchair user with limited mobility. Would I be able to go join in?

This was amazing :)!

ขอให้มีความสุขกับประเทศไทยครับ สยามเมืองยิ้ม

Miss you guys..🤗🇹🇭🇰🇪

Great 👍🎉video both of you and elephant sanctuary guys

Great story telling!❤

FIRST! love you guys ! love this series

Welcome to Thailand..Have a nice trip..

So nice 👍🏼

As a Kenyan I'm shocked! Listening to how elephants are treated like slaves in Thailand 😏 sad story of the chained elephant that cannot move more than a step!

Such a shame the elephants being mistreated but at least they are getting looked after now. I bet Tracey absolutely loved being that close to the elephants too.

@Dave you two seem very nice and since you have a lot of subscribers I just want to make you aware of the potential impact you can have by promoting this/any elephant "sanctuary". Please do further research as to whether 50 stranges bathing an elephant every day is actually good for them or just a tourist attraction. EJS actually has a lot of bad reviews on Google maps where (even recently in the past few months) people stated that they left the tour sad and disappointed because it wasn't actually an ethical sanctuary after they saw how the elephants were kept and treated. You might have gotten a good experience, but the elephants might not have. All the best to you too!

Niagra falls 🤣🤣 golden nugget vending machine👍👍 great content.

Woooo i love the video ❤️❤️❤️ I'm planning to go to Thailand , can you help me with the name of the sanctuary? 🙏 I really appreciate the help

You guys should try Pad See Ew (it's not spicy), Pad Thai is boring.

Tamu sana

True sanctuaries do not allow tourists to bathe or even touch elephants as that can be stressful for them. Also being in the water isn't very hygienic. You guys even noted how often they deficate. If you're bathing the animals I don't see how you believe this is a true sanctuary. Figure it out @davemani

15:56 matwana culture everywhere.

Hi, I'm a new RU-vidr . Now I want to make a video explaining how to play well in the Thai Elephant Sanctuary. I think your video shooting is perfect. Can I quote some of your video clips as material for my explanation video? If possible, I will indicate that I quoted your video at the end of my video, and put your link in the comment area as a quotation to recommend. If not, please let me know. I fully understand your choice. Your kindly reply will be really appreciated. All the best!

The Japanese have figured out how to regrow teeth in small animals, they say human trials will come soon. It would be great if they could help the elephants and all animals.

4:27 we are taking a bath but no water today byeeee 😆😆

I thought the poop would be used as fertiliser. Are they planning to phase out working elephants from Thai circuses?

please include KES prices

15:23 next time please try LEO beer.

Haha kevin

Which is the best country for tourism ? Which is best for you?? @Dave mani

Location??

The word... sanctuary..is misleading. Its actually elephant tourism business. Many place rent elephants from other part of country for this.

Damn, nature is cruel, you'd think it would give elephant teeth to last a lifetime.

These elephants are certainly treated better than they would be treated if they were forced to haul logs in the logging industry, or to give rides to people, or to entertain people. Just the same, it does not seem truly ethical to bath the elephants, to feed the elephants and to generally play with them. This is forcing them to do some thing that they may not want to do. It would seem that a truly ethical sanctuary would have the visitors only observing the elephants from a great distance so that the elephants can live as free a life as possible, so that they can live a life that is closets to how it would be in the wild.

ODD TAXI ARTEMIS

Here in Kenya u can't play with elephant, it will kill u instantly.

Why do people actually pay at an Alameda lemonade stand? They have the ingredients at home

As usual good at advertising, but I feel for those elephants, they need to be left to live their normal lives.

Digital nomad land

Its bullshit to say that not all elephants kan be free, those as carer. 👿Every elephant can be free with the right surroundings

Please don’t promote these places where elephants are still working for you to have a fun time and flashy video. Promote places that did the difficult task to be sustainable without compromise the animal for your amusement

ผมชอบวืดืโอของคุณสองคน ขอกดติดตามนะครับ👍👍👍
