Elephant Adventure with
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- One of the most beautiful experiences of my whole life, I cannot recommend this experience any higher. After having the chance to hike with, play with, feed, hang out, and finally get kissed/sprayed/soaked by these gigantic gentle magnificent animals... I can say this is one of the most fulfilling natural experiences I have ever been a part of - it is literally a dream to be able to do something like this today.
Elephant Friends is a company that is going to re-define human interaction with elephants, and I love the weekend we were able to spend here at the resort. The amount I learned first hand was wonderful, but also seeing how this industry in changing (not only better for the elephant, also better for the staff, the workers, the entire structure of this specific attraction).
If you are watching this video genuinely curious about the way these elephants are handled, I invite you simply to watch the video. There will be no doubt in your mind that this is a good place, with good intentions, a place that is trying to lead by example (in a part of the world where this specific example is needed!)
Thank you again to the Elephant Friends resort, thank you to the owners, and a big thank you to our friends Mark and Ying (and Micah and Nut) for inviting us to join with their family fun time - I hope that some time soon YOU could be going with your own family and friends to visit this elephant sanctuary in Mae Wang, Chiang Mai Province, Northern Thailand.
What a day!

Baby elephant so cute 🥰. Thanks for the video I learn a few things 👍🙏🙏
Elephants are pure magic! Love them so much. 💕
Smiling
I’ve heard of telephone love but elephant love … and kisses … what a way to get any day started!! It’s always great to see you guys but today the elephants were waaay better especially that naughty but super cutie baby! Kids, just when you need a good scratch they’re tangling up under your feet!! 🤣🤣🤣 Mama is strong but so gentle and attentive isn’t she? I always thought the freckles is because their skin is especially sensitive to the sun.
Btw, strawberry farm … I’m amazed Li wasn’t sprinting to get over there. 🍓🍓🍓🍓😆😆
You’ve caused me to neglect my work going near 46 minutes now but this video didn’t disappoint and I absolutely love it … thanks so much for sharing it with us!!!
My new bucket list … must come and get to know these magnificent animals. 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Remember to pick me up on your way over from the Centre of the Universe Miss Biggs😉🙏🙏
@@billydong9640 that is the plan Billy but there I was wasting valuable company time and resources on social media no less so when they bid me fare-thee-well and I watch as my pension & retirement plans start hitting the crapper (with not even enough to plant coffee), when I fly over I may just have to take a permanent perch on your rooftop - it’s not the centre of the universe but desperate times call for desperate measures. Hahaha 😝 🤣😆😂
There is one of my favourite! Love love and love, okay love love love you. Don't let Billy get any of this love off you
It was amazing 🤩
👋🏻Hello Miss Biggs! Hope you are having an amazing day today? ❤️
One of the best watches ever brilliant 👏👏👏💚💚💚

Lol Li the elephant just got a phone call😂what an experience seeing the baby and mom interaction, the growl and scratching against the tree, an adventure, learning elephant language...wow, ...funny what Mark said you and his first elephant kiss😂safe travels guys.
Thank you for filming and sharing the elephants in their own environment. So cool to see how the elephants and the local people have learned to cohabitate peacefully together. You getting kissed by the elephants was so rockin'! 🐘
Love that, 'so rockin'

Absolutely beautiful my friend....good to see my 2 favorite people together again. You an mark made me fall in love with thailand an it's food an culture...so thanks for everything you do an wish you many blessings for you an your family.
Wonderful compliment
Seeing the Joy exuded when you, Joel, Li, Ying and Micah coming together is like a family reunion.. and when that elephant kissed Micah on the Top of the Head it’s like the cherry topping on whipped cream🤗🥰
And the newest addition Bank plus a cup of ☕️🙏🙏
Happiness is contagious

👋🏻Hello Billy,how are you today? Are you floating away yet?
@@kevinandtanya2244 heya Kevin & Tanya..let’s just say the “ Prune look” doesn’t suit me🙄😂. Has the SSMinnow set sail yet?😅
Hi Joel,love the video with Mark, and Micah too. Greetings to Li,as well.😘 Beautiful elephants.
OMG this takes it up a notch. Two elephants hugging you and kissing you is spectacular. They were so playful and the baby stole the show. Just like any Mother she put up with all the naughtiness mischief of her baby. Thank you for showing this adorable video. Never seen so up close and personal interaction with elephants before. They are well trained. Lucky you.
Enjoy the weekend
Last time I was in Chiangmai， I wasn’t able to visit the elephants. Thank you for taking me there with this trip!
Lillian, Good morning :-) what a cool message, maybe someday you will get the chance to come again but I really appreciate you taking the time to write. Thanks a lot for hanging out with us
Hello beautiful elephants
Love your screen name
This was an amazing vlog...Animals and Humans peacefully United...it should be always like that...That should go for Human race too... Really Awesome ,vlog...Greetings from Switzerland to all of you beautiful people. . Peace up on you 🕊🙏🏻🕊
Never been to Chang Mai ,But would go for one reason only before anything else .Elephants ,Majestic Animals 🙏Standing next to one as he looked me in the eye ,i nearly got emotional in Koh Samui years back 🤦♂️i could spend weeks with them ❤️Thank you 🙏
The baby elephants are doing morning yoga! What a lovely place. Thanks for sharing this, Joel and Li!
God bless you, Li and Joel. I'm actually watching Mark's video in Jamaica 🇯🇲.
Great to see your name today Walt :-) God bless man. I actually thought you said you were in Jamaica I read that too quickly ha ha… But OK you are enjoying a video from a beautiful trip for sure. Have a great day, thanks for taking the time to write me always
@Joel Bruner Definitely, brother. I saw someone with a serious mustache! 😉
@Joel Bruner the ending with the 🐘 🐘 was beautiful. Such an amazing experience.
RUclips put the Jamaican video of Mark in my view. At first I ignored it but then after a few days I click it! That is how I got to find Joel and it has been a blessing.
@Max F through Mark's videos, I found Joel. That's when I went beyond the videos and paid attention to their character and how they interact with people and their families. They do videos, but if people pay attention, their is so much more. These guys love life and God.
LOVE this video, so much fun!!! Thank you for sharing this amazing trip with us! Unable to travel but love traveling with you and Mark. I am learning so much with you on Thailand's culture and delicious foods. Thank you!!🥰🙏
thanX !!!, joel for an0ther great vid!!
Have a lovely day 😘
Awesome video. God’s blessings to you all.
That was very cool. What an awesome experience!
💕
This was very nice. I like these kind of videos where it feels like you are part of the trip. The project seems good, it is so important to promote elephant friendly projects in Thailand since there aren't also a lot where these animals get a bad treatment for the entertainment of tourist. So this is good. I wish you guys a nice weekend :)
Joel and Li, you two never cease to amaze me with your videos 😊👍! Somehow you always make it seem like we are right there 👉🏻 experiencing your adventures! You truly have a gift 🎁 of holding our attention and completely portraying the whole story. I know I've said it before, but your videos are unique and have a professional level that puts most documentaries to shame. God has given you a gift for connecting with people, nature, and of course food, and it is so encouraging to know that you are not letting your gift go to waste like many others do. Can't wait for the next one 😊👍
P.S. Have you ever thought about writing a book? I can't begin to imagine how many people 🌍🌎🌏 you would help and encourage. Have a great rest of your week! See you both Sunday morning (Saturday night here 🤭) for the Livestream 😁👍! It's always so special! Thank you!
When God is in it there is no limit.
awesome video loved the elephants ...blessings Joel and Li 🤗❤
Have a lovely weekend
thank you Joel and Li
have a great day😍
You have a great weekend
Thank you so much Joel & Li, those elephants filled us with so much love and joy!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Have a good day until live 💞
What a great video and a totally awesome experience
Hi, thanks for a great message today. You know what, when my family visited recently we went back to the elephant friends camp and almost unanimously my family named this as the best day of the entire three week trip!!
This was incredibly interesting to see and learn about elephant behavior in their natural habitat. Thank you, Joel, for showing!
Minnie!! What a wonderful message, thank you so much for taking time to write. Actually I invited my family to join and we visited this place a second time, it was just as magical as the first. Thanks for hanging out with us through the video, hope you’re having a beautiful day today
@@JoelsTastyRide I really wanted to visit the Elephant camp when I was in CM many years ago, but missed the chance and I regret, but thanks to you I was able to experience virtually. I've always loved elephants and have an art collection of them. Have you visited Baan Jang Nak, the House of Many Elephants in San Kamphaeng district in CM? It is a museum of elephant sculptures of all sizes. Artist is Phet Viriya. His artwork is amazing.
LOVE😘❤
Blessings 💞
That elephant kiss in the beginning….too cute!!!💖💖💖💖
3:11 That baby just waited for your feeding and when you didn’t seem to stop talking to Mark the baby just nod her head and call you “feed me-feed me”. 🤣🤣💖
Wonderful !!! Thank you 🙏🌸🙏
What a wonderful experience . And the baby was such a character . I’ll definitely put this on my list to do 😍
Enjoy the day
😊
Smiling
Thank you for sharing!! This gave my son and I an incentive to save to make our first trip to Thailand next year and this will be the place we go to!! Truly an amazing life experience!!
Amazing to watch the dirt throwing, precision work even on three legs whilst moving the baby.
Phil!! That was one of my favorite parts as well :-) I’m laughing thinking of it now, thanks so much for hanging out with us, thanks for the comment today
I love the No Drive zone.
@12:31 I think you are eating a piece of the moon.!
I love how they just let the Elephants do a lot of normal Elephant things like a dirt bath and Teaching Baby class. 👍
Can't give you much today except for 💖❣️💓💘💕💝
Hi @prepforit 👋 hope you are well.
Wow wonderful Joel , I love to watch you videos and mark as well and im also karen ! God bless you! Sending love from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks Joel for such an amazing and informative video. Keep up the great work. God Bless.
What a beautiful and educational video! Thank you.
Great adventure! Would love for you all to go to the Elephant Nature Park of Lek Chailert and do some more elephant adventures, Mark and Joel!
You are awesome Julie thanks for the great message to great energy, thanks for taking the time to hang out with us today
That was a lot of fun watching all you'all having so much fun with the elephants. Asia elephants are so much different than African ones. Do you suppose they have sweat glands, I guess I could check, but if you know that is better. Just trying to account for dirt bathes. Nothing worse than having your long hair dog go for a dirt bath when out for a bathroom break. Well, if dogs don't have sweat glands, that answers my question.
Smiling, have a good weekend
I absolutely loved this video. A priceless life experience. Truly Amazing! Thank you for sharing ❤
Have a good day
I loved when Li says "it was a phone call?" and me, What was that?.... I thought the elephant was angry...I always like Li's reactions, no fakes...
For sure Rafael I love it :-) thanks for pointing that out, thanks also for taking the time to come in to the comments today - yahoo!! 🚀 Happy Friday, hope to see you again soon
Sabaidee Joel! I joke that you're a dog whisperer but you might be an elephant whisper too. Haha. You'e knowledge of elephants is so expansive as well. I got my shirt in the mail today too, I'm sure you'll see it later.
Lol. Have a good day
Thank You for sharing ur experience with us stuck at home.
Heading here Friday 21st thanks for sharing 👌
