all right it has finally stopped raining so where are we going uh we're going to the elephant
sanctuary cafe so it's supposed that yeah like a a bar no not about like a cafe and you can order
drinks and feed the elephants at the same time right yeah something like that and then it's just
donation based so we don't really know but we're gonna check it out because it's not too far away
we are at a temple and my shoulders are not covered
oh here though elephants i heart elephant some more elephant cafe yeah so it's through here
through the temple we did not know that the elephant place was literally like in a temple
so let's say i have a shirt i need to throw that on quick all right i'm covered now
this one yeah best thing in thailand always have extra stuff to cover i'm just
walking through the watt following all these elephant signs and here i love elephant samoyed
so when we arrived at i love elephant samoy they started by explaining
a little bit about the project and how it's completely donation based
we were lucky that we arrived when we did because there's actually only three times a day
that they do the program and they usually prefer a reservation so one elephant is 11 000 baht per day
so the first part of the project is feeding the elephants
so you start off by cutting some fruit that we are going to use in step two
so we're making a vitamin cake
you're making a cake for an elephant yeah can you say this i don't know i guess i'll tell you
it's our first cooking class in thailand
elephants can eat 300 kilograms a day rice powder and herb together we have bananas
tamarind
for digestive
sea salt
and vitamins
so the next step is mixing together a little like vitamin filled cake for the elephants
and after it's mixed you also get to decorate it so it's like super family friendly
looks yummy right
i might need my other hand for this
yeah
so they only do this at what 11 a.m yeah 11 1 and 3 right uh
so right now it's just us and one other family it's crazy though it's so cool
and they like call yoyo and the elephant just runs over to get the food
we just finished feeding her so now we're walking over to the next step which is the elephant
oh are shower going to get wet i don't think we were prepared for this
she's always warm yeah
howard
it's okay yeah you don't want it i'm thinking of it you know yes new job already yeah

you don't want a final picture
yeah so we're leaving now it was so cool yeah definitely yeah like so we haven't
done elephants in a long time but this was so cool because it was like so personal yeah
it was just us and the elephant yeah it's not like a tour that you
yeah yeah it's more and we've been here about like an hour and a half now almost
yeah but yeah it was so cool definitely recommend on coast mountain it's just taking care of the
elephants that don't have doing a donation but yeah yeah it was really cool though
oh my god so we were about to leave and go get food and then we found out that the temple
right here by the elephant is where they have the mummified monk so we have to go find the mummified
monk now in the temple so this monk it says that he was able to foresee his own death and his body
wasn't decomposing so he had a written request to like leave his body in an upright position
to like inspire other people to be buddhist so we're gonna go inside and see if we can see him
and this is him this is the mummified monk yeah i do not know why he has sunglasses on though
yeah i guess that's a picture of him and this is his body
so literally
yeah and there's like pairs of sunglasses here too why are there so many sunglasses
i don't understand but
a mummy
so there you have it you can see a mummy in thailand
you don't even have to go to egypt this is like i don't know one of a kind temple monk thing
and it's right with the elephants so literally the entrance to the elephant
is here with the mummified monk definitely stop by both super cool
all right today has been a total win between the elephants and the mummified monks come on
