This is Khao Sok National Park in Thailand, one of the oldest rainforests in the world and often overlooked for Thailand travels! We hang with an elephant, share some nice hotels and explore with Our Jungle House. Book your Thai tours here: https://geni.us/Z8ZAO6T — ⬇ See below for Thailand recommendations⬇
Our Thailand travels have finally taken us to somewhere completely new! This is Khao Sok National Park, one of the oldest evergreen rainforests in the world, even older than the Amazon Rainforest, covering close to 740 square kilometres. The national park is home to caves, waterfalls, dense rainforest and animals like elephants, leopards and tigers – though you’d be lucky (or unlucky?) to come across them all. What we did do, is book two of the best things to do in Khao Sok National Park – the elephant sanctuary tour and bamboo raft tour!
We booked our elephant tour through Our Jungle Camp, it was pricey, but turned out to be a fun day. From what we can tell, the elephants were well looked after but we were pretty hesitant to be honest, worried that they weren’t going to be cared for or we’d see some kind of abuse – but it was an amazing day and they looked free range AF!
The bamboo cruise is one of the other best known things to do, but it’s honestly pretty random! We’d still recommend it, but not sure it’s quite worth as much money as we paid. Either way, cruising down a river, local coffee, crazy nature, monkeys and all sorts – it was a chill arvo.

Super great❤!!
Okay, I’m not complaining about the sixpack situation 😂💕 thumbnail is a click bait winner for a good reason
So much better than living under jewcinda. Thailand kills
We were in Koh Lanta in March and went to the Lanta Elephant Sanctuary, where we fed bananas to the elephants, gave them their mud spa, then washed them off in the river. We were able to make medicine balls and feed them. Then we made paper out of elephant poop! Oh one of the elephants was expecting so of course she got extra treats from me!❤️🐘❤️
is the water in the pool freezing cold?
The putting mud on/washing of elephants is still ethically questionable, but many do it for the tourists. Your elephant seemed OK, but I'm no expert, so I'm hoping for the best. The smaller groups must be better than being surrounded by 20 tourists throwing water on them. I'm planning a trip to Thailand, I'm trying to learn as much as i can.
Thanks for your info.

Beautiful video 😍🥰❤❤❤
Guys, Glad to see you care about the humane treatment of the Elephants.🐘🐘 The Elephants seem to enjoy the bath. The river trip looked like fun, love your channel, thanks for sharing. Cheers 🍦🍦🤠
You guys are cute…thank you
Bravo to you guys for making sure that elephant sanctuary was legit. Looks like they were treated well there. 👍
Beautiful!! Love love love the elephant experiences. Chang actually means elephant in Thai.
💗🐘
A great video guys. Harriet and I have been to KhaoSok National Park and visited the elephant sanctuary. We had a fun experience there as you guys did. We like to go again and check out
the hotel you stayed in . As always, great stuff. Looking forward to the next video. Love you guys dearly ❤❤❤ Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
I don’t believe bathing elephants is ethical. It’s for the benefit of the tourists and is not in the best interest of the elephants. A quick google search will confirm this. Disappointed.
Wow what an experience guys, its just magical❤
Hey guys!
My favorite part of this trip was the bathing of the Elephants.
They are gentle giants yet so adorable.
Love this vlog of you guys!
Thanks D&S 😎💖🇹🇭
No monkeys stay away from them they will steal everything they can and bite you i asked a dr. that work in Pattya what do you treat the most she said monkey bites and HIV.
