Steve and crew head out to The Elephant Nature Park in Northern Thailand and learn how ethical sanctuaries center animal needs, not tourist schedules. Between river rituals, calf chaos, and quiet kitchen work, they find a better way to travel as a family and a deeper respect for elephant lives.

• why they chose an ethical sanctuary in Chiang Mai
• first encounters with Granny and her world
• baby elephants, caretakers and safe distance
• river swims, mud as sunscreen and comfort
• rescue histories, trauma recovery and trust
• vegan meals, rainy nights and family pacing
• kitchen duty, food prep and safe feeding
• the gatekeeper’s landmine story and resilience
• off‑script elephant drama and calm reroutes
• fruit “cakes” for Big Sister and shared joy

Steve and Fam head to Koh Samui’s quieter north shore, trade big itineraries for smart pacing, and find joy in jungle ridgelines, hidden lagoons, and night markets. A cliff-edge scare, a storm pivot, and an airport save sharpen how they travel together and why it works.

• choosing the north shore for calm, walkable food, and fewer crowds
• villa setup with beachside pool, house chefs, and settling rituals
• pacing rules: one anchor activity per day, rest and room to roam
• atv jungle tour, safety-first guiding, and zodiac temple views
• ang thong boat day with fluke, kayaking hidden lagoons, snorkeling
• food heuristics: plastic chairs, tin roofs, and perfect snapper
• storm pivots at chaweng, shopping interlude, skipped fire show
• family dynamics: teens bonding over pool, jokes, and shared wins
• maintaining good group vibes with naps, snacks, and flexible plans
• Ro's criminal past almost catches up, LL loses his identity at the airport
