[Music] [Music] thank you what's going on island Hoppers today we're coming to you from Chiang Mai Thailand let's do it that's right Island Hoppers we came up to the northern part of Thailand to show you what's going on Chiang Mai the best place on Earth well we're about to find out Chiang Mai is the former capital of the Lana Kingdom and also the second largest city in Thailand so the area we're walking through right now is tafa gate this is actually the Old City Gate yeah we're walking through the gate into the old city walls here where you'll find lots of Buddhist history and culture you can see right here you have the old wall the brick right against the Waterfront there so as you can see by the weather in the sky it's a very beautiful day and up here in Northern Thailand in the mountains it's much more mild and here we are at the Chiang Mai gate portion of the Chiang Mai Old City wall this Old City here is actually 1.5 kilometers in square it's also built in the 12th century so it's very old and as you will see there's a moat that goes around the outside but inside the city wall you'll find many different temples which we're about to show you including wat cheddy Lang that will be a little bit later on in the travel video but for now we're gonna head out to the outskirts and see what's going on with the animals so we're here at my rim elephant home this is a place where you can do elephant CARE program and you change into the traditional clothes you can actually clean their feet and take care of the elephants this is like a sanctuary a place where you can take care of these big beautiful animals right here in the jungle so we're not going to actually do the program for 1 500 Baht per person because it starts at one o'clock and it's two hours we're going to the temple up on top of the mountain but we are going to feed these animals and uh show them some love we got puppies and elephants they grab it by themselves the other way the other way is excited to wait here we feed them directly inside mouth your whole fruit Walk The Elephant Show it on top and say the word one song The open mouth and put down hello hello good job the elephant don't have front teeth okay nobody so they cannot bite you I love elephants every time I got a chance to see some elephants in Thailand while I'm here I go and do it [Music] and not only do they love bananas but they also eat coconuts they just crack the coconut with their mouth it's amazing wow [Music] bye bye so after the elephant Sanctuary our tour guide Sunny he invited us to go to the long neck Village all right so our driver has taken us here to a place called The Long Neck Village we're going to check it out but she wants to sell me something she makes all this jewelry here tablecloths which one you want to give to me actually which one you like so now we've made it to the long neck Village I'm not too familiar with what's going on here but uh we're gonna walk around do some shopping it looks like there's actually a few long neck Villages up here in Northern Thailand and what it is is a place where the people still hold the tradition of putting a brass golden looking band around their neck which elongates their actual spine here you got a pinky ring 100 baht right here this one you help me she's making a uh scarf scarf yes yes it requires a lot of focus intense Focus in practice okay
