Swimming with ELEPHANTS in a THAI JUNGLE (incredible) 🇹🇭

- After arriving at Chai Lai Orchid Elephant Sanctuary yesterday, we had an even more amazing day lined up for day 2.
I was completely surprised by this and had no idea we were doing it - but I got to have a personal, intimate jungle trek with just myself, Michael, and 2 beautiful Asian Elephants and their trainers.
We spent the day trekking through the mountains of Mae Rim with Ronaldo, aged 3, and Lesu, an older elephant (who is pregnant!) as they grazed the mountainside looking for food, and getting their daily exercise. Elephants love to trek free in the jungle and just eat what they come across, and Tiger (our head elephant mahout/trainer) and his team make sure the elephants are enriched by being able to do this.
We stopped off quickly at a Karen Hill Tribe lookout, and met the family of our head trainer and guide, buying some handmade items in the process, before climbing down to a waterfall to swim with the elephants in the freezing water, as it’s currently winter in Northern Thailand.
We then returned to the Elephant Sanctuary for a traditional Thai lunch.
I can’t put into words how amazing this experience is - spending time with rescued elephants and helping contribute to their growth and development, whilst being one with nature in such a beautiful environment. If you visit northern Thailand, you HAVE to spend time at Chai Lai Orchid - make sure you book in, and ask for Tiger as your guide - tell him Josie and Michael say hi!
Do you have any suggestions for things to do in Thailand?

I'm still so amazed at how amazing those animals are. It's so crazy to be able to pat them and be that close to them, it was a truly amazing once in a lifetime experience.
Thank you so much for not skipping ads, that means so much to me and your support is amazing! Thank you so much, that helps and means more to me than you know. Thank you 🙏
Not me crying when you were bathing with them 😭😍
The water hid my tears 😂😂😂😂 it was honestly out of this woooorld. I’ve never felt anything like it. They are BEAUTIFUL animals… I can’t believe we can only see them in a zoo from 200m away at home. They deserve to be free like this and pats 🥺💖
Hallo friend! I like your video, thailand is paradise place, i like everything nature about and work in jungle too, happy your trip, god bless you, greeting from ketambe indonesia, paradise of orang utans 🤣 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing experience
Honestly amazing. The feeling is indescribable! They are amazing animals 🐘 🙏
That was so amazing!!!....glad to see your video since I'm traveling next week and plan to stay there. Your video gave me a better idea of what to expect. The hiking to the waterfall was very hard (for a not active person)??
It was an AMAZING experience!! So amazing. You will LOVE it if you go! I love seeing videos so I'm a little prepared! I'm quite unfit right now and I still made it, so I think it would be fine! haha, just needed a rest when we got there 😂 The waterfall walk with the elephants was an extra activity by the way so you dont have to do it if you don't choose to! 😊
Hart warming you are a Queen of Elephants
How amazing was it ☺️☺️🐘
น่ารักและสวยงามมากๆ ครับ
I love elephants 🥺🥺🥺
ตอนนี้ปางช้างหลายที่ได้รับผลกระทบจาก covid และต้องการอาหารจำนวนมากในแต่ละวัน ขอบคุณที่ไปเยี่ยมพวกเค้า
It costs SO much to feed them! I’m glad I could help in some way. I hope to go back and help more if I can. Thank you 😁🙏🏻
ช้างน่ารักครับ
They were so cute! 😁😁
Love that crown.
Thank you me to! I still have it, I wish the flowers didn't die! It was amazing of them 😊
What a great day. Feel warm feel good with your video .

ขอบคุณ! ฉันรักประเทศไทย ขอบคุณที่รับชม
I love your video so much. Thank you so much for exploring me. I'm Thai but, I haven't visited like this before in my life. I will become a big fan of your channel from now on.
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so happy I could show you more of your home, Thailand 😊 😃
@@josieliftsthings Thank you so much for your reply. I can't wait to see your new videos ^ ^. Anyways, you must take care of yourself in Thailand. The weather in April is really really hotter than in the other seasons. I feel disappointed to hear that this year there is no Songkran Festival (I believe that you will get a fun experience from this fesival).
PS. I live in Sydeny, I love Australia so much and I know that, you gonna miss your home.
wow
Amazing!
How to book this place in advance?
Hope you comeback again
Cant wait 😃
