    Omg the afternoon tea! 🫖😍😋 love that so much and so cool that it floated! Definitely worth about £15! We was laughing so much at the ATV footage with the music! 🤣 Sounds like it was a little crazy and a shame it wasn’t the best experience 😞 Can’t wait for the other videos too! #vlogbinge 😝

      It was all sooooo good apart from the mango sticky rice which I was so disappointed I didn’t like!
      Haha that’ll teach us for not doing more research into the company we booked through I guess will tell you all about it when we see you ☺️

    Love the afternoon tea - totally agree with the animal issues - it makes us so angry as well when see that kind if thing.
    Loving this series of vlogs - cant wait for the elephant hills episodes 😊

      The afternoon tea was wonderful 🤤
      It was really sad to see it and made us so angry when we see people on their backs, had to bite my tongue on a few occasions that’s for sure!
      Thank you :) elephant hills videos are our favourite ones of the series 🥹

    Just read the description below ⬇️ on the detail of your trip 😱 Holy shit! That’s mental how bad it was. Glad you survived a good story to tell from your adventure 👌🏼.

      It was very sketchy that’s for sure. Would not recommend quad biking in Phuket!

    Loving these Thailand videos so far! Camera work and music choices are fantastic, so professional! 👌🏻
    Well done for voicing your opinions on animal welfare…if more vloggers were brave enough to put their opinions out there, maybe such awful exploitation would be a thing of the past! Thought that was really amazing of you guys! 🙂

      Aww thank you Beckie 🥰 me and Ellie find it so hard going to these places and people don’t treat animals with proper care and respect they deserve it brought tears to our eyes 🥺. Glad your enjoying our Thailand videos wish they got more love on them YT hates us I swear at times 😅😢.

      I am the same, I get really upset when I see animals either being badly treated or neglected. 🥹
      Can’t understand why these vids aren’t getting as much love as some of your others. They are fantastic! So professional and fabulous scenery shots. ❤️

    So sorry to hear the quad bike tour wasn’t a good one, shame and very sad to hear about the elephants being used for riding 😞
    The afternoon tea looked great though :)

    • @JamesandElliesAdventures
      @JamesandElliesAdventures  9 місяців тому

      It was a real shame but we have learnt our lesson to do more research in future :)
      The elephant situation in Thailand was really upsetting 😢 the afternoon tea was great 😋

    Hi guys, great vlog. I had a similar experience as James in a pool as a kid and haven’t been near one since, but that looks awesome 😎 The floating afternoon tea is genius, looked lush ❤ Wow that track looked a bit bloody etchy sketchy 😮😮😮😮😮 I agree about fruit and rice Ellie….not for me either 😦 I am glad you are still alive after that trip guys ….. edgy 😬😬😬 100% with you on the cruelty of the animals 😢

    • @JamesandElliesAdventures
      @JamesandElliesAdventures  9 місяців тому

      Hey I’m glad I’m not the only one that had the fear of god put into me that was my junior school that done that took us to the worst pool ever it was woof! 🤢 the afternoon tea was nice would of been good either way some scones with cream and jam instead of that rice and mango 😏. I wish we captured more of how bad that trip was and the roads and steep hills we had to go up and down and we kept skidding the ATV’S 🫣 absolutely terrifying Kezza! And thanks more people need to be aware of how animals need to be treated too many naive stupid people in this world unfortunately 😠.
      Thank you Kezza for your support 💙💙💙

    I love how passionate you are about animals ❤️
    As for the floating afternoon tea, i think it is worth 15 quid (even if i didnt eat any) it would be worth it just for the Instagram photos 😂😂

    • @JamesandElliesAdventures
      @JamesandElliesAdventures  9 місяців тому +1

      Phuket was definitely an eye opener that’s for sure it was so sad to see the elephants shackled up 😢
      Haha yes it was totally worth it for the gram 😆 the food was actually good too even tho the hot bits were basically cold by the time we took our photos and videos 🤣

    😂 did a atv tour in Thailand too and some of those paths look familiar. Some of it it was scary AF
    10000% agree with regards to the elephants it’s so sad seeing them being abused

    • @JamesandElliesAdventures
      @JamesandElliesAdventures  6 місяців тому +1

      Scary right 😳😆 Will defo do more research on the ATV’s next time that’s for sure!
      Yes it was so sad seeing them and the babies aswell 😢

    God what you guys didn’t see is my poor mate going down the side of a ditch oz these ATV were shocking and didn’t have the adequate brakes the list goes on just thankful we all survived as had to stop 1/4 of the way through from filming😰

    I'm so sorry your tour wasn't what you expected, it's always disappointing when that happens and a waste of time and money. Also shocking to hear about the elephants 😢 I'm embarrassed to admit I was one of those dicks that rode one. It was in bali, just after 9/11, so a long time ago and I was only young, at a sanctuary type place, but the awareness we have now just wasn't around then. Looking back, they appeared well cared for and didn't show signs of stress, and we were able to feed them whilst they bathed. I just hope they weren't badly treated, it would break my heart knowing that. I definitely wouldn't do it now 😔

    • @JamesandElliesAdventures
      @JamesandElliesAdventures  9 місяців тому

      We should have done more research to be honest but it was really awful the worst one we have ever done! It was really sad to see those poor elephants shackled up but yes your right there is so much more awareness now than there used to be years ago. When I was younger I used to want to ride an elephant in Thailand but it’s only been in the last 8-10 years that we found out how awful it is 😢 can’t believe it’s still allowed to happen! Hopefully with time it will stop. There was also a place called Tiger Kingdom which is just shocking 😡

      Greta vlog as ever guys - afternoon tea in the pool looked really cool.
      Such a shame about the quad bike trip and you can see your passion for looking after animals- absolutely agree 100%

    Cool video guys, that afternoon tea looks so cool! On the elephant thing, me and my boyfriend went to a 'sanctuary' in India and it was not what it was portrayed online, and by the time I realised it was too late to leave. So I just opted to interact with the elephant and not to ride it. It made me sad to see the saddle on its back :(. I definitely gave it a bad review and warned other tourists not to fall for it. Don't be a d*ck as James says haha. Somehow though all of these places have 5* reviews - HOW. So, yeah, happy I got to actually interact with an elephant and she was gorgeous but I felt guilty for handing these people my money when they clearly are just using the elephants for money. I hate to think where the elephants sleep. On the website, they made it sound like the elpehants had lots of space and they were retired elephants from bad places, etc. When I asked the guy there where the elephants were from, he just said 'here there and everywhere, sometimes we take them from X place'. Yeah red flags all over. My advice to anyone is just to avoid animal experiences all together but 99% its gonna be dodgy. Anyway that's my two cence!

      Thank you, the afternoon tea was delicious and definitely worth the money :)
      Ahhh no that’s really bad they portrayed it in a different light. If the reviews were good then you would have no reason to have doubts so it’s not your fault you believe what you see online sometimes. Unfortunately I think some of these companies write great reviews about their business themselves to bring in the tourists which is just awful!
      The Asian elephants are just adorable aren’t they we loved our experience at elephant hills and would definitely recommend them for sure :)
      The elephants that were previously used in the logging industry or tourism industry unfortunately will never be able to be released back into the wild!
      Phuket was really bad for animal tourism not just elephants which was really sad 😔
      Hopefully more people talking about this will help educate people into not partaking in these activities and one day it will be banned!
      Thanks for watching Kristina and your comment as always 🥰
