Ethan looks adorable in his little elephant babysitter outfit 😘
I think this may be my favorite of your Thailand videos. You are completely fearless and seem to absolutely thrive when you're outside your comfort zone. I was back in Thailand in November... my first visit since 2016. I immediately felt at home. I quickly realized that I will live in Thailand again. It's home. 🇹🇭
same. love it.
@@johnramos263 @Steve Thank you from the bottom of my Thai heart ❤🇹🇭
Fun fact: In some parts of the world, elephant dung is collected and used to make coffee. The coffee is said to have a unique flavor and is highly sought after by coffee connoisseurs. 😮
…yum? 😂 Didn’t try that when I was there. Maybe next time.
I've heard Sum Cum Yong Gai is adelicacy too. 😋
We do that in Thailand too actually, and the beans are super expensive. There's also another variant called กาแฟขี้ชะมด, which the beans are eaten and partially digested by Asian palm civet. I have never tried either of the variant but if you're travelling in Thailand you should find a lot of good local roasters in Chaingmai🥰
Ha, they tricked you
Foulgers uses cow dung I think. That stuff gives me the runs
I doubt that I have ever seen as engaging a travel video as this one. The notion of interacting with elephants has completely modified my thinking about those intelligent albeit giant creatures. Well-done and thanks so much for expanding my frequently jaded view of the world. Just as a side remark, the rail line from Bangkok to Chiang Mai is meter gauge (1000mm). Most rail lines today are either what's called "Standard" gauge (1430mm) or Broad or Russian Gauge (1524mm). More than half the world's railways are Standard Gauge. The wider gauges provide a much smoother ride, which is why your trip may have been a little bumpy.
What an amazing experience with the elephants, how lucky. You are becoming such a good video maker, you have wonderfully genuine persona and perfect presenting and editing skills. Hands down better than any of the large media companies. I really enjoyed this.
This is great! Reminds me of when I was in Thailand in 1973. You can count on the Thais to always smile and be very helpful to visitors either in this type of location or in a city in some stores and clubs. I'll never forget my 4-month stay in Thailand --- it was truly beautiful and instructive --- I was able to learn simple conversational Thai so that I could buy things in stores and get instructions on how and where to go. It's a beautiful country. Thank you for this video!
What an amazing world. And your own amazing personal journey. Thank you for taking us along! Elephants are so majestic yet so gentle. 😍
We found the Dining Carriage at the rear of the train, after walking through 2nd and 3rd class.
Hanging out on the rear door was the best.
That connecting door unlocks when families travel or if 4 friends travel together🎉🎉 (partying)🎉🎉
Loved the Elephant rescue section, top marks for content and travel magic.
Hi Ethan, Thailand is an amazing country and Thai people are beautiful.Have a great adventure Buddy.
Love you long time 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Also, all of your travel videos are very cinematic beauty. Thailand's great, for that simple hospitality. Same thing for Costa Rica---is my favorite.
Goodness you're gorgeous Ethan!
Right?! He has the most beautiful smile. I wish he’d start an OnlyFans… **sigh.
😢
4:04 AWWWWWW.. that road on the top of the mountain!
4:15 The sweetest and most energetic doggie.❤
Wow! I love this video. Such great editing....nice pace, great shots, good use of music. Way to go Ethan! I might never get to Thailand, but I feel like I had a great virtual visit.
I thought your elephant guide was a charming man! He's a natural...like you are!
❤ Ethan you are super fortunate to do this at your age. Thank you so much for sharing.
It's always a big fun to travel with you in these adventures of yours,Ethan.I really hope you to continue this,troughout the world.I miss Millie.Take care.Love from Brazil.
You are on a once in a lifetime adventure that a lot of people including me would love to do.
Love watching and learning from your eyes, enjoy every minute but stay safe.
This vid had me laughing so many times! I'm so impressed by all the new things you're willing to see and do. I mean, I know that's why you're traveling (duh!) but every new adventure must produce some level of anxiety. You must be inspiring people to leave their comfort zone, like you do. Bravo, Ethan! 👏
thank you for showing us the train ride. their passenger trains look very clean and modern and it appears that they have cell and wifi service all the way. I'm sure flying is also quite easy to do but relaxing and enjoying the scenery is priceless. I would guess that they do offer dining and drinks as well on the train due to the length of the trip. hopefully you can show us more of chang mai as it is a top destination for many americans. thanks as always.
They do normally, but on my trip they didn’t have any food or drinks. Just an unlucky exception. 😂
Another amazing video! Ty for taking us along 🎉🏞💚😘
Watching you discover the awe and beauty of Chiangmai, and Thailand 🇹🇭, reminds me of my first arrival here 20 years ago. It's refreshing to see a handsome young man exploring the world. 🥰 Thank you for sharing this with us. 🙏
Ethan, I would have loved to be there with you. I absolutely love elephants. I would have been brushing them, hugging them, petting them and talking to them. LOL The food looks delicious. The bunk beds on the train and the little rooms looked cozy. Your videos are always fun and entertaining. 🤗
This man always entertains.
I want to visit Thailand so badly and go to an Elephant sanctuary. I love watching this and seeing how great it actually is.
You're really living the dream. Congratulations to your growing success on youtube. Safe travels around the world as we see it through your lens. "Pick the least sketchy alley and walk down it." LOL. You're a fabulous tour guide :)
I've traveled on this train... I loved it once I finally relaxed and enjoyed the journey.. 👍🏼👍🏼
This was such a cool trip! If you are ever in the UK I recommend that you try the Night Riviera train from London to Penzance. The train coaches are from the 1970's but they are really smooth and the journey is so scenic. I have to get over to Thailand to try this at some point. Great video 👍
Another wonderful visit to an amazing part of our planet. Thank you so much for this video. Safe travels Ethan.
Ethan! Thanks for such an interesting video👍🏻. I loved ❤Thailand 🇹🇭and its nature. The elephants 🐘 impressed me how docile they behaved. Bangkok 🇹🇭looks like a fabulous city 🌆 from the air. It must be an unforgettable trip! 🛫
Ethan, I love watching your videos and traveling vicariously with you. 😁
Ethan, this really is a great video filled with information and scenery. I had never seen inside those new First Class train cabins. Small but nice and with a shower? Wow ... the few times I wanted to use 1st Class train to Chiang Mai, they were always sold out at least 2 months in advance, which was pre-COVID and just when the new trains started. Did you by your train tickets online, at an agent (your hotel or in Bangkok), or at the train station? Thank you so much for showing some of the best things about Thailand. As for the pushy vedors at all train and boat stations, you handled it brilliantly: ignore them if you can, respond in they say something wrong like "Why you do that?" when you were filming yourself.
I booked online through the national railway website. 😊
@@ethantravels WOW nice. That website barely functioned when I lived in Thailand, 2002-2020. Nice to hear back.
Glad you went to the Elephant Park, it's one my favorite places to visit on TH-cam videos. Chaba is a sweetheart, I'm jealous that you got to hug her 🥰
I love and ride trains all the time, and the opening about that train counter was awesome! 🙏
I'm so gutted I never got to visit Thailand when my parents were living out there. I'm not likely to leave the UK any time soon so for now I'll have to live vicariously through your videos 😆
Wow, what an amazing experience! Thank you for sharing it with us. You live the life I wish I could.
You’re amazing. I feel bad that you’re on these travels alone. I hope sharing it with us makes you feel like we’re there with you. I wouldn’t have had the spunk or money to do these trips when I was your age. But so great you are on them. Very educational as well as fun. I love the elephants. Hope to see them someday with my husband. Hugs. John
I used to live a half mile from an elephant refuge in Nashville,TN about 23 years ago. I love your adventures!!!
You looked quite adorable in your habiliment, the unexpected mishap however made your guide quite excited. Keep up the good work, enjoy your travels and be safe. 😉
Don't miss taking a trip up Doi Inthanon. It'll get down to 40 degrees, so dress warm! When I went it was completely shrouded by a cloud and very damp.
I really enjoy you, Ethan. You are interesting and well spoken. I am impressed that you travel all alone. Good for you.
He's traveling with his friend. The video is a dead giveaway LOL
I realize that sometimes someone was videoing him but that does not mean he was a traveling companion-only that on occasion someone videotaped him. That’s all.
@@markbailey162 You can meet his companion in some earlier videos.
So jealous of this adventure. I fell in love with SE Asia and spent a total of about 8 weeks there - but that was between 1995 and maybe 2010. I'll get back someday. I did elephant feeding, and yes elephant riding (perhaps frowned on now), not the bathing though. My train was FAR less comfortable - that was Vietnam and an overnight from Hanoi to Lou Cai on the way to Sapa (the most beautiful spot ever, at least then). Amenities? Hah. You peed on the tracks below. My first class ticket meant 4 strangers in a cabin with bunks and a drop leaf table that clattered the entire night. Netflix - right - I don't remember cell service period. Anyway, back to Thailand - the motto there is you can get almost anything you want, incluing stuff that doesn't make it onto monetized channels.
I love Thai food.....glad you're sharing your travel adventures---its an education you cannot get anywhere else; I have lived in Italy, Korea, and Japan.
I enjoyed this video a lot; it's been a while since I visited Chiang Mai. When I took the train from Bangkok I had the second class sleeper, but there was someone who prepared (and later unmade) the bed for me. There was also someone who came by with dinner snacks and breakfast. I'm surprised you didn't get any food!
Your host at the Elephant sanctuary seemed like a super nice guy and funny too
The train looks nice. Ethan I am glad that you had fun with the Elephants. That food looks so good. I love Pat thai! I am happy that you are having fun in Thailand. I hope that you are having a great night.
Soo much fun! Laughed like crazy watching you and you quirkyness
Awesome video. Great cameraman work. I always look forward to your videos!
I love 🐘 🐘 🐘, they're so majestic, I'm very jealous. Another really interesting & fun video. Safe travels 🤗
fantastic visit
I loved this adventure!!! Wonderful!!!
I love ur vid Ethan. Your travel abroad attitude is so inspiring....
Dude you're doing a lot of the things I plan on doing when I visit Thailand in february! I cannot wait I want to be there now!
Very cool video and thanks for your wonderful travelling to show everyone. 😊Cheers.!
I've heard that Chiang Mai is one of the places for expats to move in Thailand, if they want to live in a cooler location of Thailand, good to get first-hand information of the cooler weather from you.
Fantastic! what an experience with the Elephants..
WONERFUL HOST! LUV YOUR SLIGHTLY DRY SENSE OF HUMOR. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT ADVICE!
Really enjoyed the video! Nice tree house! Thanks!
Great video, loved the elephants. Thanks for sharing.
The technical aspects of your videos are getting better and better.
Thank goodness you posted this video. I haven’t seen you in a while. I was getting ready to inquire about your safety. You looked good in your thai attire, especially the hat.
I've always wanted to take one of those overnight train trips. I'll have to put it on my bucket list.
Oh, we have those folding plants in Brazil too. Interesting to see it so far away from here
Elephants are so cool. I've interacted with a few younger ones (5-13 years old) and they still seemed like wise all-knowing beings. They do poo a lot though! Haha, not sure if I could have gone in the water. Awesome video as always. :)
Cute outfit at the Elephant Sanctuary. I would've wanted to keep it (pj's)
In fact, you won't have to make your own bed because the train staff will do it for you later. 😅 I heard that every CNR train now has a dining car, especially on routes to Chiang Mai. It has been two years since the CNR trains disengaged a dining car.
It was just on this one trip that they didn’t have one. An unfortunate exception 😂.
Thank you very much for sharing. It is so nice of you to share all this.! You are making me jealous and wanting to go there too :). Enjoy!! By the way, did I miss Millie?
I recently found your channel. I really enjoy your travels. I wish I had such a great sense of adventure as you do. Thanks for sharing. Be safe, and continue to have fun!😀
Videos are getting better and better buddy!
Chiang Mai is my favourite place in Thailand. So many great things to do there.
Great Vlog. Keep living your best life Ethan.
Did the travel buddy share the train compartment, or did he select a separate room?
I hope he chose the same compartment. Lucky guy if he spent the night cuddling Ethan. 😊
@@i.est.del2991 Please keep in mind Ethan's family view his videos. We need to keep comments rated PG.
@@allenweist4483 Ummm yeah do they also view his onlyfans?
@@ingmarmueller4930 Wow, you might have unearth something. What is his onlyfans account name?
I do not see that he has one. Am I wrong?
Enjoying your travel videos. They’re very interesting. You are much braver than I am in eating out in places and trying new things. You looked very cute in your elephant caretaker outfit. It looked comfortable. I hope to see more of Chang Mai area.
E .. wow this is phenomenal! One of my favourites.
Bravo ! Great video
I love the Elephant sanctuary. That looks like fun.
Thank u Ethan. Enjoyed yr videos. Keep it coming.
Loved the video!❤🇫🇮
I was just in Thailand two weeks ago. It was so awesome, ate and ate and ate. I did Hug Elephant Sanctuary, LOVED it!!! I will definitely go to Chiang Mai again. Just found you, really enjoyed watching your video.
Ethan you are fear less. You are really good at keep things Interesting. Dieing to know if you have a Significant other. You are a kind person. Hope you find your soul mate.

Another informative and entertaining travel vlog. Enjoyed watching it. Thanks for sharing. Stay well👍🙏😎
You are such a sweet handsome and beautiful young man with such respect for other cultures and new experiences. I just said goodbye to one of my long time pups last night and your smiling sweet video lightened my grief. Thank you.
This was amazing Ethan ... one of my favz of Thailand. Thank you
Thanks so much Ethan..what a wonderful travelogue in Thailand..fascinating piece on the elephants...the train of course and chang mai .. you do a wonderful job on your vlog.. more please..lol..xxxx😍🤩♥️♥️😊🤗
It used to be that the overnight train to Chiang Mai had porters to set up the bed, and hot food and breakfast you could order and they delivered to the room. I am surprised those services are gone.
Loved the video.
Omg that’s the most adorable hat I’ve ever seen ❤ Another really cool video too!
Wow, that train is an improvement over the one I used to take to Chiang Mai.
Thank you Ethan great info .Take care
Love your videos
Domestic flights from Bangkok to Chiang Mai are very quick and even cheaper than train...
Ethan,so nice video
Ethan! You're opening up the world for us with these wonderful videos! You rock!
Great vid. Fun + informative
No, u are refreshing 😌. Like your videos. From Connecticut ❤️.
Thanks for taking me out of my world for a while!👍
Are you still in Thailand? The weather is perfect between mid Dec and Jan. I'm glad you like Chiang Mai. I enjoyed every minute of your video. Keep up the good work!
Awesome video, Ethan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep living and loving and spreading kindness
