    My now wife and I traveled by bike to kanchanaburi from Bangkok when it was 44 degrees! Yikes. We found a huge cave on a mountain. A waterfall with fish that nibble on you and visited the ww2 railroad museum. Next up baan chaang!

    We are planning to visit Thailand again next year, and soon after plan to stay there for several months (toying with the idea of moving there!)

    I would have chosen #2 cabin too! When I got to feed elephants in Thailand, they always grabbed the food with their trunks. I have never seen anyone feed directly into their mouths! I am a little jealous I didn't get to experience that! I love that they say it is not a sanctuary, it is home. Warms my heart! Thanks for taking us with you to this beautiful place. I hope that the Covid situation allows me to travel back to Thailand sooner than later. Until then, I will live vicariously through you!

    I think that this was one of my favourite vids that you have done. They are such majestic creatures and we have been lucky enough to spend time with both Indian and African elephants. Elephants home has def gone on the list of places to visit next time I am in Bangkok.
    So you say Starbucks is a no go but you still go to Timmy's, is this double standards!!- I think that they should both be blacklisted although Cafe Amazon is also a massive state owned concern so maybe we should add that too and support the small artisinal guys

    The correct pronunciation of the River Kwai is "Quare" - just like the word "care". Kwai means Buffalo in Thai.
