I went here in Jan 2019 and it is one of my most favorite memories. An unforgettable experience and I still love my elephant to this day. I hope I get to see her again sometime soon.
Glad to see that Karen has changed the way they treated elephants.
I am blown away by this - what a wonderful way to spend a day and really experience these wonderful animals in a non-exploitative way. Full marks to the tribe for doing this. Thanks for sharing.
Moira O'Brien We're very impressed with what the tribe is doing here. The stories we hear were so sad. Our guide was at an awful elephant park for 7 years and couldn't take it anymore so he's been working hard to bring this tribes elephants back and make a business that can help sustain the tribe. Elephants are a ton of work and take many people to take care of them. The story is much bigger than just a short Vlog. We're considering going back and doing s full doc on this tribe.
That sounds like a very good idea and would certainly be very well received by the ecological fraternity.

Thank you for sharing your trips! So amazing and wonderful! Truly loved this! Awesome job!
Thank You! Many more adventures to come!
I went to the Karen Tribe Native Elephants at the end of January 2018. I had a phenomonal experience. I loved the elephants and it was very educational and practical. Best highlight of my trip in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Thanks for posting this video. Because of this video I flew from Melbourne to visit Thailand.
Awesome! Glad you had an amazing experience. One of our highlights of Thailand
“He just ate the brush” omg i love elephants.. and i really enjoyed watching this. Such a cool experience!!
So awesome! You can tell the tribe loves their elephants, the elephants are calm and happy.
Stacy Dovey the elephants were very happy. We never felt unsafe around them. Always had their ears flapping and by the end of the day our elephant would walk right up to us and stare down with its big eye. His other eye was blind because poachers took his tusks and it caused him to go blind in one eye 😔
WanderWorx That makes the elephant experience even better to know that your elephant found a safe place to live
Stacy Dovey yeah. Some of these elephants use to be at the bad parks but this tribe is working hard to support them and bring them back here. Very cool to experience. Want to go back and do a documentary about this tribe and their story of the elephants.
Elephants are so cute, intelligent. One day I would like to visit this place. They need love and attention.
The Thai guy was so cute and it was heart warming how they treated everyone so well! definitely gonna check them out whenever i go to Chaing Mai! Thank you ^^
You have to check out this elephant sanctuary when you're there. The elephants were very happy and well taken care of
Thai Karen
I feel so conflicted *because* I've watched so many documentaries about the horror of *riding* elephants. I see on their website that riding is allowed. I have 2 questions:
1) are the elephants ever chained up (like at night)
2) what technique is used to encourage their behavior....hooks and human dominance or 100% positive reinforcement?
No what they did was inexcusable. All these places claim to be "sanctuaries", only the ones who DON'T let patrons ride on their backs are legit. Why? Because the backs of Asian elephants aren't structurally made to carry humans so it causes damage. I feel really guilty I didn't see the previews so I could try to shut it down like I did a show on Bravo who were cool enough to pull the episode and edit out the scene without push back.
Personally, and for my acquaintances, that belt these elephants have around their chest shouldn't be there
Awesome thanks 4 being a friend on Twitter. Beautiful
:)
So so glad you posted this, and even happier I stumbled on it. I'm definitely opting for this experience when I visit in August. Thank you for sharing!
How was your trip to Thailand. Did you visit the elephants
Very cool , love it, one with nature and its animals in their environment
Thank You!
Great video guys, really love this idea of supporting a small family run place. I would totally love this!
Mark Harrop it was the most amazing experience! We highly recommend
Cool we were in Chiang Mai last year too, may go back but we are in Sicily just now.. Great video.
Steve
How is Sicily? We want to go there someday!
WanderWorx Don't come in the winter, it's way too cold :o) but apart from that wonderful :o)
wow, i would love to do that. Not just the elephants but the tribe and the small group you had with access. Must have been amazing
Brian Dowling you gotta plan a trip to Thailand and do this someday. The experience is one of a kind. The whole day was incredible. We learned so much and the elephants were so friendly. 🐘🐘🐘🐘
Cool visit to the elephant sanctuary. I enjoyed watching the adventure and how you edited and told the story of this.
Great video, glad you made it to a Elephant Preserve
Jeff Swoyer it was the highlight of our trip!!!
Very cool ...one of those once in a lifetime experiences.....
Mark Raley it was amazing. Probably the best thing we did in Thailand.
I can’t wait to go there in February!
Did you go?
Super cool! Wish I was gonna be near chaing mai on this trip :( I'll be near phuket diving on the islands
Nice! That will be a ton of fun! You should check out the HONG islands. Here's our video on that experience.

Loved this vlog! Can't wait to see your next adventure.
Thank You! 2017 is going to be packed full of adventures. We jump on a plane first thing on the 1st!
i was there 2012 but i miss the elephant trek. i was trekking and camping nearby.. miss that place..
Arnold Loye walking with the elephants was so cool. It's really upsetting when you hear what many tour companies do to these animals. I couldn't imagine seeing them chained up or locked away.
I love Lost LeBlanc. We've heard about the Elephant Nature Park and wanted to go there as well, but it was very full. That camp is doing awesome things with the elephants. I'm glad we got to go to the Karen Tribe because we got to see another side of the industry and got to hear some amazing stories from the villagers about this topic. We are working on going back and filming a longer documentary about it.
This is amazing how they take care these animals God Bless you all of you.
Glad theres places out there like this
Great video guys.. Thumbs up.
Thank You!
Wow what a experience must be amazing can't wait to see the elephants myself one day soon. Great video guys
BACKPACKING BRITS Thank You! Elephants are amazing in person. Such gentle giants. Make sure you go to a place like this to see them.
WanderWorx don't worry we will
Awesome!
I can't imagine stampeding elephants was too fun! 0_0
But otherwise, that is so cool!
Elephants running is pretty scary when you're that close. Overall this was an amazing experience
Next week we are going to be in Chiangmai , can't wait to do the elephant sanctuary experience!!!!! How far ahead did you have to book and which one did you do? Thanks
We did the Karen Native Elephants, link in bio. It was an amazing experience. I would highly recommend them.
awesome vlog, thanks for sharing
Thanks!
very good you video i like it friend
Thank YOu! The elephants were amazing to interact with.
Awesome video, Rachel and Jeven. I subbed :D
Thank You!!!
I love this video! Thanks for sharing. :)
David Royce thank you!
what a great video and a well told story too,, really enjoyed this a lot. I learned something too,, never use your drone around an elephant :-)
Bj Eddy thank you! Yes never drone near an elephant. I wish my camera was rolling when I first took off. 4 elephants running in different directions with their handlers chasing. Pretty scary. We are so lucky no one got hurt.
is this affiliated with Elephant Nature Park? They're an amazing organization
No this is a different organization. We didn't get to go to the Elephant Nature Park but have heard amazing things about it.

WanderWorx ...me and my twin son's are relocating to CM next Fall! Any do's& don'ts you can pass along would be greatly appreciated.
I'm looking forward to going to this elephant sanctuary! My husband and I just got to Thailand a month ago and we are loving Chiang Mai so far! We have a travel vlog at our channel 'Skye Parsons'.
Awesome. Chiang Mai is one of our favorite cities. We are thinking of moving there and having it be our hub for south east asia next year.
We are too! It seems like a great place to have a base :)
Yeah for sure!
Nice 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Thank You!!!
Love the content in this video! Shall check them out during my next trip to Chiang Mai! :)
Awesome! We were so happy we chose this elephant experience. You should for sure check them out!
Elephants use to help Karen people escape the Burmese, some died but we kept some and reproduce them..
"Karen is not a lady name" lmao. This is really awesome, the Karen have been treated very poorly throughout history and it's great to know this particular population is being empowered in this way. Those elephants are living the life!
Yes they have. The elephants have such a better life than other places in thailand
Why do you have to change your shirts?
J Y Hardy we have to look like the trainers because we're interacting so close with the elephants. The elephants need to be comfortable with you to allow you near them.
Hi just curious as to why you had to wear the clothes, was it provided or did you have to buy them ??
They provided it. They told us that we should look like their handlers for the elephants. It helps keep them calm
How much it was? Wich name of the park?
Please share!!!! Elephants need everyone to know what is going on!!
Emily Ann we are aware of this horrible practice. Did you watch our video?
My apologies. I was going through the videos and posting the same message on all videos featuring tourists on trekking adventures bc it makes me furious what is happening to the eles and I want everyone to know. I mistakenly did that to yours. I will delete it.
did you do the overnight experience?
No I wish we had
did you guys do full day or half ? thanks !
We did a full day
I'm going next week ! Thank you guys for showing me this amazing experience ! I can't wait to be there myself !

Dude the audio is ruined by some rubbing noise of your handheld GoPro
Mark Pratley I wouldn't say ruined. Still decent for a GoPro. The stick always causes rumbling unfortunately. Gonna alter my Vlog setup soon. Just easy to use a gopro when traveling like this.
WanderWorx maybe ruined is a strong word 😉 I'm just one of those guys that can't have a plastic bag rustling in the back seat of the car with the window open. 😂
I find it really had to watch your videos when your using the hand held GoPro. Get the Karma GoPro Gimbal 👍
Mark Pratley haha completely understand. It bothers me too because when I shoot my doc shows I have multiple lavs, shotgun mics and sometimes a audio person. Also shooting on nicer cameras than a GoPro...
Witch sanctuary was this?
Link is in our description
what kind of cameras do you use?
+Sungwon Shin Sony a6500, gopro and dji mavic
WanderWorx what lens do you use for a6500?
I have a whole bunch. Mainly the sony 16-70 when I travel though
Personally, and for my acquaintances, that belt these elephants have around their chest shouldn't be there.
Nice experience for tourists, but stressful for Elephants: other sanctuary are more careful to those and let more free them.
I went back last december to film a doc and learned so much more about ethical elephant tourism. Looking back, this place was headed in the right direction but still had some issues.
Elephants have tear gland. Who gave them that info that they don't have tear gland.
Not sure
