Daneger and Stacey Mahalo! Your videos helped me convince my boyfriend to travel to Thailand! We are definitively ziplining and visiting the elephant sanctuary! Aloha! 🌺
Awesome video guys. I just want to throw in my two cents for people looking to visit the sanctuary. I did the overnight trip with the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary in November last year, and by the end of the second day, I began to have some reservations about the sanctuary. We started off in the same as you, Camp 1 & 2. These camps in my opinion were absolutely amazing. The elephants there are so happy, they get to roam in the forest at night and it is just a beautiful experience. But on our 2nd day we went to Camp 5 to sleepover, and spent the next day visiting a few more. After a while you get to see just how many people are visiting the sanctuary. The numbers are big. I saw a family of elephants huddling together and trying to sneak off because they didn't want the mud bath, but they were dragged and pulled in because a bus load of tourists were waiting. Also, unlike Camp 1 & 2, the other camps chain the elephants up at night because they are nearer to farmland. This means they spend the day herded around for tourists and their nights chained up. There is no break for them, and they don't really get much chance to exhibit natural behaviour and/or just be. Now, don't get me wrong, these sanctuaries give the elephants a new life filled with love and respect. What the sanctuaries have done to raise awareness about these elephant's lives is incredible. But if you do go, maybe just be aware that these elephants are still being worked for tourism, even if it is to a much lesser degree than what they have suffered before. It was a profound and amazing experience, but I just wanted to share another side that I only saw because I stayed for a couple of days. Beautiful video though as always :)
Yes... I've noticed it is still a biy touristy thing for me... With all the elephants ride n the things you mentioned.... I would prefer the Elephant Nature Park anytime... Lek is more opened and sincere
They chain the elephants up so they won't destroy the farmland nearby. The neighbors won't complain or kill them. If it's not for tourists money the elephants have no way to earn a living. The staff have to balance it out which they are trying very hard. No place is perfect to your standard. Or is it?
Chesca is Lost , do you know any other option? I’m researching and until now, I have Elephant Nature Park, Elephant Jungle Sanctuary and Elephant Retirement Park. I think the last one doesn’t have a big crowd in their programs, but not really sure.
I'm going to Thailand from Australia in mid July. And spending 4 nights in Chiang Mai. I wasn't sure what sanctuaries to visit because of animal abuse. After watching this video I definitely want to come to visit this place. Great video, and looking forward to spending time with the elephants. They just put a big smile on my face :)
Glad you enjoyed the video. Chiang Mai is an incredible place, you're going to love it, the elephants are honestly so much fun! If you're looking for some other ideas for CM our video here seems to be received well: ruclips.net/video/dai3eCYiGiM/видео.html
It can't come around soon enough. Spending 3 weeks in Thailand. First time ever going overseas, and going on my own. Going to be quite an adventure. Going to Udon Thani, Pattaya, Koh Samet, Chathanburi, and Koh Chang. Then Back to Bangkok. Just watched your other video. It's got me even more excited. Where do you rent scooters and know your way around? I suppose being a popular tourist destination there will be plenty of help. Thanks again :)
Sounds like a great trip - good mixture of places. We rent from Cat Motors, great company and close to Nimman road. But like you said, easy to get around and use data on your phone and map there.
Excellent, thanks for the recommendation. And not far from where I'm staying too. I'm using my iphone as a GPS while I'm over there. Going to be doing a lot of walking. Already planning on next years trip. Wish I could do it full-time like you two :)
The Hands Off Program, created by Lek, at the Elephant Nature Sanctuary in Thailand, is the only way to truly FREE elephants. If tourists love the elephants so much and are truly interested in their welfare, donate to Lek, so she may provide more elephants with the comfort of home. She is the Elephant Whisperer. I know, they cannot go back to the wild, but there is another alternative.. Please go to you tube and view her program.. Thanks so much for all who sincerely love elephants.
OMG! Elepants are so freaking amazing. We were lucky enough to bath elephants on our visit to Chiang Mai. We'll be putting our video up soon. Great video guys as usual.
Thank you so much for showing this - I changed my reservations from another park to this one after watching this video and another one of the other place we were scheduled to go. This one looks far more ethical and natural. I feel much better about our choice now - keep up the great work!
Have you ever been there yourself? If you think Thai people are really nice maybe you haven’t seen the real Thai yet. They can kill you for just a dollar
That’s an extreme comment. We’ve spent more the 12 months in Thailand - they’re lovely. More honest than a lot of other SEA countries when it comes to money as well.
I'm a kiwi, currently living in Perth, my husband and I have been in Australia for 6 years. We are heading to Vietnam and Chiang Mai June/July before returning to Napier, NZ (home) to settle down. I love watching your videos and will definitely be taking all your recommendations of Chiang Mai especially.... This elephant sanctuary looks like absolute fun!!!
Hey Chelsea - thanks so much! Excited for you guys to visit CM, still holds a special place in our hearts (especially with 6 degrees in London right now).
This was also the best experience I ever had! I fell in love with Thailand thanks to this experience! I want with the same company as well.... I highly recommend it! 🖤
I went to Elephant Sanctuary No. 5. You can tell that the caretakers of the elephants really respected the animals. I had a great time visiting them but the poop water was my least party haha
WELL DONE YOU GUYS AND WELL SAID. DON'T RIDE, DON'T ABUSE BUT INTEGRATE, INTERACT WITH AND ENJOY THE ELEPHANT'S COMPANY ONE ON ONE. PEOPLE LIKE YOU REALLY MATTER. MANY THANKS AND WELL SAID.
I was in mai sa valley. 2005. We went there to escape the aftermath of tsunami. Not good. Anyway, all these elephants were behind the fence with all the mahouts, I looked at the big male and winked and said “you ok mate” he winked back. Yes he did. I double checked with the people I was with them I did it again. He winked again. Swear to god.magic. They are very clever and totally magic. X
Love this! I've actually been to the camp you were at and it was amazzzing. The youngest one was only 2 or 3 months old when we were there last year. Amazing! Great vlog
Thanks Dane and Stace for this wonderful video ❤ I strongly agree that riding elephants is a form of abuse. I've seen chained elephants being put on an unhealthy environment for the sole purpose of human entertainment which is so heartbreaking (I personally saw one when I visited Ayutthaya, Thailand last year). This video makes me want to visit Chiang Mai right now and hang out with these cute elephant squad 🐘🐘🐘 Thanks for bringing awareness and so much love to these gentle giants. Happy travels ❤
CM is so awesome, you'll love it. Thanks re the camera, here's our gear and camera/lens combo if you're interested: danegerandstacey.com/our-equipment/
Thanks for bringing back great memories. We were at Camp 2 in November 2018 and chose EJS for the many of the same reasons. Planning to return there again and enjoy Chiangmai once again.
Oohhhh,,so sweet you both no ride elephants,,and i also just know that peoples from north they owner elephant for transport and work with,,im from south so much difference life style we use boat for work and transport....
Great video! I'm in bangkok right now and headed to Chiang mai in a couple days! Watched your top 12 things to do a while back and im looking forward to doing many of them. Especially the elephant sanctuary!
Chiang Mai Sanctuary... What a beautiful place you have and how kind and thoughtful you are to create such a place as yours for these majestic and gentle animals, I bet God is ☺ smiling down on you all. See you in the future, I hope to visit real soon. Blessings, always Maylene
What a great video! I love that you reach your viewers about responsible tourism. Unfortunately it’s not something that crosses most peoples minds. And omg that one elephant just laying down in the water like it was a spa day, being exfoliated with the mud by all the people 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Me and my girlfriend went here for the day and we had to leave after an hour because it so was upsetting seeing the elephant being dragged into the mud baths when they clearly didn’t want to. One of the guys used a machete to sharpen a stick and poke the elephants with it to get in the bath.
That's sad to hear! We didn't see anything like that. The sanctuaries definitely aren't the perfect solution, but theyre a step in the right direction at least
It's videos like these that makes me want to tell you that, one day you'll come across me too.. 👍 really a great experience, so pleased with what the locals and you guys are doing for the elephants. 😊 (i smashed that thumbs up button) lol
Thanks so much, we love hearing that! We're really trying to grow our channel at the moment so anyone you can tell about us we appreciate looooaaads. Thanks for your support :) ❤️
Excellent video. Very educating about elephants. i have to agree with the local folks, elephants are very gentle and very smart. I wish humans stop hunting them for their tusks - it's cruel.
Daneger and Stacey haha that's what i thought too. I guess when we talk of best beaches we stand on the podium with the carribean and pacific isles/countries. 🌊🌊🌊
We LOVED THIS VIDEO. You guys are awesome and an inspiration :) Best one yet of your series. We just started on RUclips a few months ago and yours keeps us moving forward, thanks and blessings, Kim and James (we are: "Treasure Hunt Traveler's")
We had this experience this year in Khao Lak. It's a unforgatable moment to see this majestic giants when tey are "free". We think it's a good way to do this Elephant Sanctuarys. It's much better than this .... trekking.
Daneger and Stacey You're probably one of the few vloggers I've known that can edit its videos in a clean way. Still disappointed that I didn't y'all while you're here in the PH.
Ah thats so nice of you to say, thanks for that! Just wish more people would watch because we put some much work and love into these haha. Next time we come to the PH we might have to do a meet up :)
This is 100% what I need to be doing when I visit Thailand one day! Love the video! By chance, could you please let me know what camera you used for this vlog? Was it all GoPro or did you use something else as well? Keep up the videos, guys! :)
Wow! Such beautiful Elephants! At first I was wondering what was up with your matching outfits? hahaha.. Pretty amazing for you guys to see the elephants so close up and get to feed them. And bathing in the mud? hahaha... so much fun. Was the water cold? Looks like a great day.
Ha the matching outfits is pretty funny, they actually give you one each to take away as well which is cool. Definitely an amazing experience - the water was actually freezing, but the day was quite cold so that didnt help!
Am happy that sanitary doesn’t abuse them at all I hate people that abuse animals they don’t deserve it at all! And they are just like a human but just doesn’t talk or any of that but they live like human and it’s unfair some animals get abused! Please help to stop animal abuse! And I love ppl that don’t abuse them!:)

Chesca is Lost nice write up. Was wondering what would be different about this place compared to elephant nature park.
Chesca is Lost: Humans can be so obnoxious.
Yes... I've noticed it is still a biy touristy thing for me... With all the elephants ride n the things you mentioned.... I would prefer the Elephant Nature Park anytime... Lek is more opened and sincere

Appreciate the sanctuary preach. It's totally more beautiful watching elephants free and having a ball bathing, than being rode on 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
1000% - hanging out with them like this is so much better! ✌🏼
It is do wonderful to see these elephant enjoying life not being used for humans to be selfish and using them for personal gain
I'm going to Thailand from Australia in mid July. And spending 4 nights in Chiang Mai. I wasn't sure what sanctuaries to visit because of animal abuse. After watching this video I definitely want to come to visit this place.

Thank you for this great film. It makes you just want to go hug all those elephants.
that is just brilliant that they have rescued the elephants from the tourist ride trade and take care of them so well...

Holy moly those elephants have the cleanest nails I've ever seen. These elephants definitly get taken good care of!
Haha true!
OMG! Elepants are so freaking amazing. We were lucky enough to bath elephants on our visit to Chiang Mai. We'll be putting our video up soon. Great video guys as usual.
Glad you guys got to do it also - such an incredible experience huh!
Thank you so much for showing this - I changed my reservations from another park to this one after watching this video and another one of the other place we were scheduled to go. This one looks far more ethical and natural. I feel much better about our choice now - keep up the great work!

I'm a Filipina but I so ❤️ 🇹🇭 primarily bcoz of 🐘🐘 🐘, so good of you guys to bond with these gentle giants , what a joy 🤗🤗🤗
Totally agree!! Such an amazing day!
My heart is so happy seeing this kind of activity. I'm so excited to try this! I love elephants so much ♥ Awesome vid!
Thank you for not riding elephants and for being responsible tourists.
Thanks Mary. Appreciate your comment and for watching - hope this video educates others!
God bless you, Mary... I'm from Thailand, and I don't think elephants are for riding... They're just another human..
Hi mary are you a vegetarian?
what about riding a horse?
Thailand is Land of smile 😃 Thai people very nice
They are! Such amazing kind people
Have you ever been there yourself? If you think Thai people are really nice maybe you haven’t seen the real Thai yet. They can kill you for just a dollar
That’s an extreme comment. We’ve spent more the 12 months in Thailand - they’re lovely. More honest than a lot of other SEA countries when it comes to money as well.
Daneger and Stacey Not at all, Be careful some of us(Thai) are dangerous
Daneger and Stacey Elephant can goes crazy
Thank you for not supporting the elephant shows and riding. Our country really need to stop these stuff. Amazing vid btw!
It was great to visit a sanctuary and care for the elephants ❤️
WoW!! The elephant so cute. Good trip.
They're the best!
elephants help human since ancient time until today. It's time for us to respect elephant and treat them well.
Terrific explanation from ENP personnel how ethical animal tourism and community CAN be a symbiotic relationship. Wonderful video; thank you!
I'm a kiwi, currently living in Perth, my husband and I have been in Australia for 6 years. We are heading to Vietnam and Chiang Mai June/July before returning to Napier, NZ (home) to settle down.

Thanks Dane and Stace for this wonderful video ❤ I strongly agree that riding elephants is a form of abuse.

Loved this video guys. Especially how excited and happy Stacey was through the whole thing!
Too cute huh!! Thanks team! 🤘🏼
Terrific video, guys. I went to Elephant Nature Park which is basically the same type of sanctuary. It was magic.
Sounds like those guys are pretty legit as well - stoked you got to do it!
Great video! I'm in bangkok right now and headed to Chiang mai in a couple days! Watched your top 12 things to do a while back and im looking forward to doing many of them. Especially the elephant sanctuary!
Stoked to hear that, hope theres a few other winners on the list there for you to get up to. CM is an awesome spot.
Chiang Mai Sanctuary... What a beautiful place you have and how kind and thoughtful you are to create such a place as yours for these majestic and gentle animals, I bet God is ☺ smiling down on you all. See you in the future, I hope to visit real soon. Blessings, always Maylene
Great content for this Travel Vlog.....
What a great video! I love that you reach your viewers about responsible tourism. Unfortunately it’s not something that crosses most peoples minds. And omg that one elephant just laying down in the water like it was a spa day, being exfoliated with the mud by all the people 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed it! This is still one of our fav travel experiences to this day
Me and my girlfriend went here for the day and we had to leave after an hour because it so was upsetting seeing the elephant being dragged into the mud baths when they clearly didn’t want to. One of the guys used a machete to sharpen a stick and poke the elephants with it to get in the bath.
That's sad to hear! We didn't see anything like that. The sanctuaries definitely aren't the perfect solution, but theyre a step in the right direction at least
Elephants are beautiful man, you guys are convincing me to go there!
Ahhhhh do ittttt!!!
Daneger and Stacey in the future for sure 🙌🏽
i freaking love elephants. thanks for the video
US AS WELL haha. Thanks for watching.
It's videos like these that makes me want to tell you that, one day you'll come across me too.. 👍 really a great experience, so pleased with what the locals and you guys are doing for the elephants. 😊 (i smashed that thumbs up button) lol
Thanks for smashing that button haha! Glad you enjoyed!
Dont forget the elephant queen. LEK!!!!
Yeah more elephants 🐘🥰🥰🥰🥰 awesome 👏🏾 video!
Glad you found this one - the newer and better of the 2!
Daneger and Stacey yes I love animals, and the elephants 🐘 are one of my favorite animals.
I LOVE elephants too !
I also ♡ your videos , by far my favorite ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡!
Thanks so much, we love hearing that! We're really trying to grow our channel at the moment so anyone you can tell about us we appreciate looooaaads. Thanks for your support :) ❤️
Daneger and Stacey Each episode gets better, I really love you guys!
Aww thats so nice, thank you!
Excellent video. Very educating about elephants. i have to agree with the local folks, elephants are very gentle and very smart. I wish humans stop hunting them for their tusks - it's cruel.
Yup, some sad things going on - days like this are so amazing to see them happy! 🤘🏼
Aww they look so happy! This place is awesome!
How fun!! You must learn Thai to speak to the elephants. The baby elephants 🐘 were really cute too.
Thai is one of the toughest languages to learn! Would be so amazing to be able to chat with the Eles though ✌🏼
After watching it I really want to do it ,,,,,, u both had a really good time there 👍🏾👍🏾
We did, loved it! Hope you get the chance one day
Makes me wanna go to Chiang Mai. It's always nice being one with nature...plus with these ginormous creatures. In the PH we only have one elephant.
You'd love CM, especially if you get to spend the day with Elephants! Beaches arent as good though hehe
Daneger and Stacey I didn't know there are beaches in CM,i thought it was a land-locked city,not sure though 😀
Oh haha yeah theres no beach! Sorry, was meaning Thailand as a whole lol
Daneger and Stacey haha that's what i thought too. I guess when we talk of best beaches we stand on the podium with the carribean and pacific isles/countries. 🌊🌊🌊
We LOVED THIS VIDEO. You guys are awesome and an inspiration :) Best one yet of your series. We just started on RUclips a few months ago and yours keeps us moving forward, thanks and blessings, Kim and James (we are: "Treasure Hunt Traveler's")
Thanks so much guys! Truth is, this is our fav video we've ever made as well... good luck with the channel!
wow! thaat was awesome experience. .
So so so amazing!! ✌🏼
We had this experience this year in Khao Lak. It's a unforgatable moment to see this majestic giants when tey are "free". We think it's a good way to do this Elephant Sanctuarys. It's much better than this .... trekking.
Awesome video. What a great experience, good job!
Nice work on putting that together. You have an awesome editing skills and creative mind. Keep it up!
Thanks - edits like this take a LONG time to pull together. Worth it in the end 🤘🏼
Daneger and Stacey You're probably one of the few vloggers I've known that can edit its videos in a clean way. Still disappointed that I didn't y'all while you're here in the PH.
Ah thats so nice of you to say, thanks for that! Just wish more people would watch because we put some much work and love into these haha. Next time we come to the PH we might have to do a meet up :)
That looks so much fun...
I love elephants, amazing & smart animals...😂😂😂👍😁
Greetings from Houston Texas
They are - so enormous but caring and loving

You are really lucky! Thailand seems such a cool place to visit!
Definitely a cool spot guys ✌🏼

So much fun Jun!! ✌🏼
This is 100% what I need to be doing when I visit Thailand one day! Love the video! By chance, could you please let me know what camera you used for this vlog? Was it all GoPro or did you use something else as well? Keep up the videos, guys! :)
Such a cool experience! We use the GH5: geni.us/ourcamera and a bit of gopro stuff for the water scenes
Thanks for sharing! this video is really informative.
Glad you enjoyed - thank you!
Wow! Such beautiful Elephants! At first I was wondering what was up with your matching outfits? hahaha.. Pretty amazing for you guys to see the elephants so close up and get to feed them. And bathing in the mud? hahaha... so much fun. Was the water cold? Looks like a great day.
Ha the matching outfits is pretty funny, they actually give you one each to take away as well which is cool. Definitely an amazing experience - the water was actually freezing, but the day was quite cold so that didnt help!
So excited! Do you know which camp you visited?
Am happy that sanitary doesn’t abuse them at all I hate people that abuse animals they don’t deserve it at all! And they are just like a human but just doesn’t talk or any of that but they live like human and it’s unfair some animals get abused! Please help to stop animal abuse! And I love ppl that don’t abuse them!:)
