I'm a new subscriber! I absolutely adore your guys videos. As a Thai person who love watching these of videos about thailand. I found that you guys are so respectful, fun and super informative. I found your videos because I wanted to see where to travel to when I go back home from England, and I have no regrets. If I'm being super honest, you guys are one of the best travel vlog out there. Keep it up and cannot wait to join your channel growth and where you go next!

Wanted to say - THANK YOU 🙏 very much sharing the conservation efforts there & a vegetarian selection as well- plus- the Cooke sanctuaries & how important it is for travelers to not support animal abuse & exploitation.

Thank you! And welcome to our community. Yeah we really try to take our time and learn about a place. We aren't exactly eco travelers but we want to be responsible travelers and teach people how to do the same. So we felt this was a message we needed to put out.
It's cool to see how a place changes over time. Sometimes that is not always good, but the area is still really gorgeous and well maintained

Yeah I think a lot of places know that people are looking for sanctuaries that are ethical so they slap buzzwords on their packaging like no riding but all the while don't change anything else about their practices.
Thank you for your perspective. But I will say that from a tourism side of things it's maltreatment of an elephant to have hundreds of people a day riding on it's back, especially along cement roads. And that's not even considering how some elephants are trained to be ridable. Great article here explaining what years of tourist rides can do to an elephant edition.cnn.com/travel/article/thailand-elephant-ride-abuse-intl-hnk/index.html

@@TheDetourDuo How about horse riding in western countries? Which be ridden everywhere for a long time or even days, compared to elephants, which are very small. Seeing this makes me feel sorry for a horse too. Very small compared to elephants but have to carry the burden of many people. Riding a goat, riding a donkey, riding a camel... which is much smaller than an elephant. What is your opinion? Personally, I don't encourage people to ride any type of animal. Must give equal importance to all types of animals. Cancel elephant riding, goat riding, donkey riding, camel riding, cow riding, buffalo riding, goose riding.... Cancel all animal riding around the world.

Thanks so much! We actually used an E-Sim for our entire time in Thailand through Airalo. If you use code SARA1282, you can get $3 off. We love the convenience of E-Sims because you can have cell service the second you land in the country and top up from anywhere. That being said, getting a physical SIM card at a phone store, 7/11, etc. will definitely be more affordable. Our E-Sim was dtac and it worked great.

@@TheDetourDuo also massive props for actually showing that you're learning to get used to the bike before a really going to travel, because almost all of foreigner-involved motorcycle accidents comes from unfamiliarity with those small scooters. More important than that is actually getting used to the (absolutely crap) roads in the country.

I love the video but i dont think it's necessary to lecture about what is ethical and not. Just touching or even riding elephants isnt at all the same as places that directly beat or harm the animals. Thai people throughout hundreds of years in the past, have ridden elephants and even used them in warfare. Just like we use horses. Just as you can be ethical and respectful to an horse when riding it, you can be the same to elephants.
@TheDetourDuo

I definitely understand what you're saying, but that's a bit different from having hundreds of guest a day touching, riding and stressing an elephant out. You could literally see the past scars from that on some of these elephants. That's the message we were trying to get across, and I believe it's the same message as the sanctuary as well. We're not saying Thai people shouldn't be riding elephants. We're saying tourists shouldn't be doing these things.
Yes! We learned we both need to take a break after about an hour. That's when it starts to get uncomfortable

I kept saying you know a place is legit when the elephants look happy. I can't explain how I know these elephants were happy. Just an energy, and the way they were playful. One of the oldest elephant kept following us around and she looked like she was posing for photos while the baby she showed came up to me as soon as it heard the camera click. Kinda scared me a bit because I knew it wanted to play but playing with an elephant that doesn't know it's own strength had me backing up lol
Would love to check out some elephant! Not to ride, just to see ❤
