Ep. 33 | Inside a Real Elephant Sanctuary in Chiang Mai: Our Slow, Heart-Opening Stay at Kindred Spirit
Hi friends, it’s Estefi! Let’s go see elephants together 🐘✨
Also, remember that TakeThree Talks is Now Hosted On Substack! Mmm… What does this mean?
I’m Back again with my favorite co-host and travel partner, Meijun! After our last episode on the Vipassana retreat, we’re shifting gears and taking you along for what happened right after we spent 11 days in silence.
A truly special part of our Thailand trip earlier this year: our 3-day stay at Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary (KSES) in Mae Chaem, a remote Karen village nestled in the mountains about four hours from Chiang Mai.
We spent 2 nights and 3 days immersed in community, conservation, and the quiet presence of six semi-wild elephants. No feeding. No riding. No bathing.
This wasn’t a tourist attraction. It was the real thing—and it changed us.
I’m so excited to share that the podcast has officially moved to Substack. This means I can fully own my data, offer you a more detailed and connected experience, and help the show grow and reach new humans.
In Season 2, we’ll travel together through all the places we visited across Asia, and this time, we’re bringing you a video version too, so you can enjoy all the visual memories alongside us. You can always find the episodes on our website, as well as anywhere else you listen to podcasts!
