Go to Thailand for the incredible views and the best workouts with our trainers... stay for the elephants.🐘 Read some of our BTS facts about filming: ⬇️⁠ ⁠ We filmed at the Chai Lai Orchid and spent all day there (around 10 hours!) ⁠ ⁠ The Chai Lai Orchid is a not-for-profit elephant sanctuary and they actually rescue and look after the elephants themselves. 🥹⁠ ⁠ One of the elephants, Mae Boon Tung, only appears in about 15 minutes of the workout, but it took us 3 hours to film with her, during which time she ate at least 4 bundles of bananas! 🍌⁠ ⁠ Mae had been there at the sanctuary for a year already and has children! ⁠ ⁠ Elephant carer’s are called Mahouts. The elephant and Mahout are together for life, and the people here see their elephant as another family member, not just an animal. ⁠Mae Boon Tung’s Mahouts name is Omi. ⁠ ⁠ The Chai Lai Orchid also runs an organization called “Daughters Rising” that empowers and supports at-risk Karen hill tribe women. 💕⁠ ⁠ You can find more information on The Chai Lai Orchid including staying in their hotel, donating to Daughter Rising, and more at the link in our bio!⁠ ✨
