I know. I know.
00:04
Good boy, sweetheart.
00:07
My heart broke for him.
00:09
He was staying on a daily basis,
00:11
with the pen chained up all day and just getting fed,
00:14
just waiting for tourists to get him some food.
00:16
His mental health was definitely compromised
00:19
from his captive situation.
00:21
After taking three weeks to raise the money
00:29
in collaboration with Planting Peace,
00:31
it was time to transport Mongkorn to Sanctuary.
00:34
We went to the supermarket and loaded up on
00:36
fruits and veggies.
00:38
What's up guys, we're here with the truck
00:40
that we're going to unload Mongkorn.
00:43
We got him after midnight.
00:44
We arrive into this park to get him in the depths,
00:47
the dark.
00:48
Good boy, yay.
00:52
He's there, he just came in, no problem.
00:55
And yeah, we're good to go.
00:58
It's the last stop and he's not happy.
01:00
He's really, really upset.
01:03
He was slamming his trunk against the side of the truck.
01:06
He was stamping his feet.
01:08
You can't explain to them,
01:09
there's light at the end of this tunnel,
01:11
we're bringing you some more powder.
01:13
I think two more hours.
01:15
We've got to go stop and give him some more food now
01:17
in about 20 minutes.
01:18
We're just picking up some more fruits, right,
01:21
for Mongkorn because he's a little bit hungry
01:23
and he's being a bit fussy.
01:25
I don't know if he was eating it
01:26
or throwing it out of the truck,
01:27
but the food was disappearing.
01:30
He's going to be so happy when he gets home.
01:32
I hope so.
01:37
Bye, baby.
01:42
The journey was 16 hours.
01:43
We were all in a little van following him
01:45
behind the whole time.
01:46
It was a long journey,
01:47
but so worth it because he's gone to exactly
01:50
where he needed to go.
01:56
It was a really cool moment
01:57
to get him out of the truck after such a long journey.
02:03
He went from psychopathic in the truck
02:05
to just like walk down to the side
02:09
where they had this little buffet waiting for him.
02:14
When you take off chain, Mongkorn is like,
02:16
why take chain?
02:19
We let them walk free with another elephant.
02:23
He really looked like a little baby
02:25
with all these other big elephants around him.
02:27
It's amazing.
02:34
At that round, she's like the second mom.
02:41
There are certain females
02:42
that will take on that role of a nanny.
02:44
They will come in and literally help raise the young.
02:48
He's really lucky to have her.
02:50
He'll learn a lot from her.
02:52
It's lovely to see.
02:54
He's a very, very happy baby elephant.
