2023-09-11 · YouTube · Salah and Chantal · 15 min
Chantal and Salah visit the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary in Pattaya, Thailand. They join a half-day, ethical sanctuary program (2,000 baht per person) that includes feeding seven elephants fruits (pineapple and banana), preparing and giving daily supplement balls (protein, vitamins, and grass-pellet filler), a halal traditional Thai lunch (with vegetarian options available on request), and a demonstration on making paper from elephant dung. The hosts interact with several named elephants (including Ninja), take photos and selfies with the animals, and learn facts about elephant behavior and safety before returning to their hotel via park shuttle.
