Thailand’s Elephant Guardians 🇹🇭 – Inside life of Karen Hill Tribe



It’s not everyday you get to get up close and personal with an elephant, but that’s how the Karen People in Northern Thailand have been living for generations.
This is no safari and whether it’s co-existence or conservation efforts, this place changed my mind about some things. Join us in Northern Thailand as we go on a tour in the Elephant Freedom Village.

  1. EVEN IF YOU HUMAN SLAVES FILL THIS ENTIRE PRISON WORLD WITH ( SILVER GOLD OR DIAMOND ) ( DIGITAL OR FIAT MONEY ) THAT STILL CAN NEVER MAKE LAND TO PRODUCE OIL SO WHAT DO YOU HUMAN SLAVES NEED FICTION ( MONEY ) FOR ?

    WHY DO YOU HUMAN SLAVES BELIEVE THAT ARCHONS RULING YOU CAN CREATE FICTION ( MONEY ) WHILE YOU NEED TO EARN AND PAY FICTION ( MONEY ) TO BE ALIVE ?

  2. Thanks for sharing this with us Tal. Yet again another beautiful piece, as with the Sri Lanka elephants and the Whale Sharks you've highlighted the various exploitations being committed but also that there can be a peaceful coexistence, it may not be perfect but nothing in life is and considering the alternative options I think the Karen peoples approach is honourable. Probably the first time I've ever agreed with a Karen 😂

  3. Wow amazing. Such sweet creatures 🐘. A Karen? haha, I'm not complaining 🤷 but on a serious note, it's really impressive what these tribe do to protect these beautiful 🐘 what a dedication.

  4. Great tourist selfie!
    In short: Do not support elpehant tourism in Thailand or else in SE Asia, please!

  5. So special animals, it was fun seeing Valentino dragging Moshe to take a swim and the baby Sierra, she's so cute! Thanks to the caretakers.
