This week we were shown how to do traditional basket weaving, by one of our village elders, Patti Sayee ☺️

We are so lucky to be shown these traditional skills, which are still being done in the village ✨

November means Sunflower Fields! 🌻

Every year for just a few weeks, fields full of sunflowers bloom! We’re lucky to be close enough that we could visit them! 😍

15/11/2024

We went gibbon spotting this morning…

Gus and Gertie were out and about today! We love to see them and learn more about their behaviour 🐒

Often during different seasons elephants may appear a little different in colour, due to a behaviour called dusting 🐘

Here is Pu Noy showing us the difference between rainy season and hot season… when it’s hot he throws dust on himself, giving him the brown colouring, rather than the grey ☺️

Sometimes you just have to lay down and have a cuddle with your mahout…

Bundhi and Chat’s relationship is so lovely to see 🥰

12/11/2024

Dambo loves his elephant grass! ☺️

He came across a field full of it and took some time to make his way through it 😂

08/11/2024

This week we went up to the Buddha Cave, where there’s a shrine and where one of the village monks has been living 😌

The walk there is always beautiful and the caves never disappoint 😍

07/11/2024

Dambo is learning everyday and it shows! ☺️

His mahout Ali, is helping him learn how to forage and what food is best for him to eat. He helps by cutting it down and showing him that he can find food high up in trees too… learning how to be a semi-wild elephant! 🐘

The school holiday is finished so School and Anuban are back! 🎨

We’ve missed teaching over the past few weeks and can’t wait to get back into it 🖍️

04/11/2024

Boluwan has such soulful eyes 🥰

He has an amazing relationship with his mahout, Patti Toonya, that they have developed over the last 40 years🥹

01/11/2024

We have another monthly update, with gibbons, biodiversity and Halloween fun! 🦜🎃

Have a read to see what’s been happening…

As our current only female at home in the forest, Lulu holds a special place in our hearts 🥰

She’s so beautiful and definitely the best at foraging and living in the forest, along with her dad, Boluwan! 🌳

Boon Choo is loving life in the forest, just look at that face 😁

We all need a bit of Boon Choo happiness 🙌🏻

28/10/2024

Bundhi has been with our program for around 10 months now and has adapted to forest life amazingly! ✨

Leave us a comment about your favourite Bundhi hike 👀

25/10/2024

Taking data on a Dambo hike 🧐

This week was an activity survey, in which we identified and recorded his activities every 2 minutes, to gather an overall understanding of how he’s reintegrating into the forest! 🌳

There’s a lot of feeding, food prepping and walking 🐘

24/10/2024

We’re very fortunate that we can help the villagers in their fields with planting and harvesting… and it’s time to start the rice harvest! 🌾

Getting stuck in and learning new skills is always fun ☺️

22/10/2024

We love night hikes down the river! This week we were fortunate with our sightings 👀

What species do you think the snakes are? 🐍

Sometimes when it’s raining, all you need to do is hide in the trees and eat lots of grass… That’s what Pu Noy does! 😂 #gvitravel #gvichiangmai #gvi #gviconservation #elephantconservation #asianelephants #elephantintheforest #pakinyaw #forest #biodiversity #huaypakkoot #hikingintheforest #foresthike #endangeredspecies #thailand #hiking #happyelephant #

Rambo is such a beautiful giant 😍 He’s currently spending him time looking out over the forests and making sure to eat lots of food! 😋 #gvitravel #gvichiangmai #gvi #gviconservation #elephantconservation #asianelephants #elephantintheforest #pakinyaw #forest #biodiversity #huaypakkoot #hikingintheforest #foresthike #endangeredspecies #thailand #hiking

The relationship between an elephant and their mahout, is a beautiful sight to see 🥰 Bundhi loves to take a break and give Chat some cuddles, reminding us that he’s still just a baby 🐘 #gvitravel #gvichiangmai #gvi #gviconservation #elephantconservation #asianelephants #elephantintheforest #pakinyaw #forest #biodiversity #huaypakkoot #hikingintheforest #foresthike #endangeredspecies #thailand #hiking #elephantcuddles

Pu Noy showing us how sometimes, they use water pipes to have a quick drink, as he moves to a new area of forest 💧🌳 #gvitravel #gvichiangmai #gvi #gviconservation #elephantconservation #asianelephants #elephantintheforest #pakinyaw #forest #biodiversity #huaypakkoot #hikingintheforest #foresthike #endangeredspecies #thailand #hiking #elephantdrinking

Sometimes all you need is to watch a Bundhi bath 🥰 Bundhi found a big river this week and took himself in for a bath and some playtime! 🐘 #gvitravel #gvichiangmai #gvi #gviconservation #elephantconservation #asianelephants #elephantintheforest #pakinyaw #forest #biodiversity #huaypakkoot #hikingintheforest #foresthike #endangeredspecies #thailand #hiking #elephantbathtime #elephantbath

What does Bundhi do best? 🤔 Eating of course! Though we think being cute is also the right answer! 🥰 #gvitravel #gvichiangmai #gvi #gviconservation #elephantconservation #asianelephants #elephantintheforest #pakinyaw #forest #biodiversity #huaypakkoot #hikingintheforest #foresthike #endangeredspecies #thailand #hiking

Dambo has found his new favourite food… bamboo! 🐘 And there’s so much in the forests, he’s got plenty to get through! 🌿 #gvitravel #gvichiangmai #gvi #gviconservation #elephantconservation #asianelephants #elephantintheforest #pakinyaw #forest #biodiversity #huaypakkoot #hikingintheforest #foresthike #endangeredspecies #thailand #hiking

Lulu decided that today, was a sitting day… well after she slipped and decided to style it out as sitting! 😂 We couldn’t tell the difference 🤫 #gvitravel #gvichiangmai #gvi #gviconservation #elephantconservation #asianelephants #elephantintheforest #pakinyaw #forest #biodiversity #huaypakkoot #hikingintheforest #foresthike #gibbon #gibbons #endangeredspecies #thailand #hiking #happyelephant

Don’t we all wish we could play in the river on a hot day, just like Dambo! 🤩 #gvitravel #gvichiangmai #gvi #gviconservation #elephantconservation #asianelephants #elephantintheforest #pakinyaw #forest #biodiversity #huaypakkoot #hikingintheforest #foresthike #gibbon #gibbons #endangeredspecies #thailand #hiking #happyelephant #playinginwater

Dambo says it’s getting hot so it’s time to play in the water again! His mahout, Ali, joined him in the river today and they were splashing each other 🥰 #gvitravel #gvichiangmai #gvi #gviconservation #elephantconservation #asianelephants #elephantintheforest #pakinyaw #forest #biodiversity #huaypakkoot #hikingintheforest #foresthike #endangeredspecies #thailand #hiking
