  • We're exploring Mae Taeng, another district in the province of Chiang Mai that we love. We came to experience the peaceful scenery, the fresh countryside air and most importantly, we're here for Note's reunion with his elephant after years apart. Join us on this wonderful adventure and we'll share more about his family's connection to Pangwat, the most kind and gentle elephant.

    Honestly not sure why I'm crying after seeing this. We love you two and love watching your videos...but this one was something else. When the camera zoomed on Pangwat's eyes, i couldn't hold on to my tears. Thanks for sharing this amazing experience guys. I know where we are going when we visit Chian Mai. Love from Bangladesh
