I swear I am not crying 😭😭😭😭. I love elephants so much. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aww..they are truly gentle giants 😊
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
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 😊
The freckles on Pangwat's trunk seem to form the shape of a heart.
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.
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.
We owe you a box of tissues for all the tears you've shed 😝 Thank you John.
@@FloraandNote LOL. Its ok. I've been using my shirt sleeve and this old thing needs to spend time at the laundry anyway! 😂
So lovely! Must be so emotional for Note when he saw Pangwat! Love this video!

Note นายมันสุด 😊
Beautiful countryside scenes 😊😊😊, nice video guys 😊
The elephants are beautiful
wow truly amazing creatures. Gentle Giants, but definitely deserves our respect
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 ❤
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 : )
It was so nice to see that she's happy and healthy in her forever home now 😊
Elephant have the longest memories....she eill remember you even if its like 10 years ago ......like they say ...elephant never forgets ❤
A beautiful area - Chiang Mai has so much more than we generally see - The elephant interaction tour was excellent - Thanks for taking us along 😃✔️👋👌👍🙏
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...
Flora is righf…..nature is amazing!!
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.
Thank you so much 🥰
สวยงาม
So exited to join the journey with you. God bless you both. I enjoy it.
Thank you so much 😊
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
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.
Thank you Dominic! Glad to hear you're going to Thailand this May. Which cities are you visiting?
@@FloraandNote Bangkok and some other cities. Hope to have a good vacation in Thailand.
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
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!
@@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.
Thanks I learned how to open a coconut. Cheers.
thanks for including prices in yr video. very useful.
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!
Thank you Lee 😍 We'll keep at it!
Happy Chinese New Year! Great to see you visiting your sister again, Pangwa,👍
Happy Chinese New Year! 😊😊😊
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
I love elephant
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 🥰
Road Tripppppp… 🖐️ Calling Shotgun 😉😂. That would be so kewl 🙏🙏
I love to have a house in the rural rice field someday. Watching the sunrise over the greenery…….❤❤
That's the dream!
Looks so good. Elephant's are amazing creatures. Hopefully, I will be back to Thailand next year, and i hope to see chaing mai.
That sounds like a great plan! We love Chiang Mai especially in the winter season :)
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
It's definitely easier to find a ethical sanctuary in Chiang Mai than some of the other cities in Thailand.
Sawatdeekaaa 🎉🎉
Do you remember me ❤
I'm photographer at the Kanta elephant sanctuary 😍😍
Nice to meet you again 😊😊
Yes we do! Hope you enjoyed watching our experience at Kanta. It's a lovely place and we're so happy to see Pangwat living a good life there 😀
best travel vlog.
Thank you so much 😊
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.
Good ol' Richard does the job! But slightly less exciting when things always go as planned haha
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 ...
Awesome video....very interesting and informative.....enjoyed watching it. Thanks a bunch for sharing, Flora & Note. Wishing you both a happy Chinese New Year "Kong Hei Fatt Choy"
Kong Hei Fatt Choy to you too :) Wish you good health and abundance in the new year!
@@FloraandNote Thank you very much.
They are so close to God❤
Enjoyed All your vloggs with Rocket and in Chang mai. Gonna watch this one now. Always Love watching You guys. Love You both
Thank you so much! We are getting some work done on Rocket now...we'll see how it goes 😅
@FloraandNote Hope He will be back on the Road soon. Yourl are so much fun and I wait to see ur new adventures. Lots of ❤️
PangWat 🐘❤ 👨Note
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.
ปานวาดน่ารักมากเลย ดีใจที่คุณโน๊ตได้เจอน้องสาวอีก ตลกที่จนท.บอกว่าช้างตัวผู้ไม่ชอบอยู่ใต้อาณัติผู้หญิง ไม่เหมือนคน 555
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
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 😊
long time no see
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.
Now I know how to cut coconut
At suvarnabhum airport I've seen coconut selling for as high as 250 thb XD
Can you share your story witg Pangwat.... Please share. How did it end up living with you?
Will you go to Pai?
Not this trip but we went there last year and made a video there 😊
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!
He used the same pick up line on you? 😂
Her name is Panward not Pungwat in Thai - ปานวาด = as painting.
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.
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.
Lol, one fibre ball for each but two for Pangwat.
ร้อนไหมครับที่เชียงใหม่
It’s not hot right now but smokey season is starting soon. It was lovely from Nov till now though.
ขอโทษนะครับ คุณพี่ผู้ชายเป็นคนประเทศอะไรหรือครับ
We’re from Canada but Note is Thai and I’m from Hong Kong 😊
I would love to travel to Malaysia next time 😉😃
We'll try to make that happen 😉
Did Pangwat ever have any babies? Where's the teeth? Haha
@ 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!
Yours guy look so happy, I hope your happiness forever.
Thank you 😊
