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.

In my opinion, no elephant sanctuary is legitimate. It is not natural for Elephants to be continuously washed by humans. And have no say themselves whether they feel like this or not. Realize that they have to do this repeatedly for months just because the tourist wants to tick this off their list or because they think they are making a good contribution to the welfare of the animal. The video illustrates as if a good deed is actually being done by humans. Please try to look at the bigger picture and see that promoting this exacerbates animal suffering and thus it backfires. Don't get me wrong but I hope this post helps to broaden your view.
What was the name of the hotel at the end would like to stay there
Have fun.
Natural spa,do not forget cream skin care.😊
Maybe your going to monkey temple.
Hi guys thank you for your content, I would like to ask you if at the end your great suggestion is to do a simple 4 h tour in the khao Np and sleep outside, I really get bored very quickly.. Do you know if there are accommodation nearby the Pier so I can fly in fly out the day after
Another place highly recommend is Koh Chang. Close to the Cambodian border and a short ferry. Real people and real life. Love the videos
Can very much confirm, staying in the national park near the little walking street and renting a bike is the way to go. There are some mind-blowing views coming in from the Khao Lak side.
I drove from Krabi to Khao Lak, and then up and over into Khao Sok. Stayed in the valley, saw the lake for a day, and did hiking from the National Park and had an incredible time. The driving was a big highlight!
great video guys chur
Wauw the views 😮 lovey experience the place you stayed in looked nice and the pool.
Hope your Both doing well have a Good weekend 🥰
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.
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 😎💖🇹🇭
Wow what an experience guys, its just magical❤
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.
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.

Beautiful!! Love love love the elephant experiences. Chang actually means elephant in Thai.
Bravo to you guys for making sure that elephant sanctuary was legit. Looks like they were treated well there. 👍
You guys are cute…thank you
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 🍦🍦🤠
Beautiful video 😍🥰❤❤❤

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.
is the water in the pool freezing cold?
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!❤️🐘❤️
So much better than living under jewcinda. Thailand kills
Okay, I’m not complaining about the sixpack situation 😂💕 thumbnail is a click bait winner for a good reason
Super great❤!!
