An American tourist immersed herself in joyous laughter as she formed a special connection with an affectionate elephant in Thailand.

Captured on film, the endearing scene showcases Suki, a playful baby elephant, engaging in playful antics with a female visitor at the Chai Lai Orchid Sanctuary in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Despite Suki’s potential weight of up to 200 pounds, the sanctuary assures viewers that no harm came to humans during the heartwarming interaction.

In the video, Suki’s exuberance shines as she eagerly interacts with the unidentified visitor, attempting to embrace her with her trunk.

Suki improvises when her initial attempt fails, playfully causing the woman to tumble over before gently lowering herself onto her.

The tourist’s contagious laughter fills the air, highlighting the delightfulness of the encounter.

Undeterred by Suki’s playful antics, the mother elephant peacefully grazes nearby, adding to the serene atmosphere.

As the scene unfolds, another tourist joins in, and together, they shower Suki with affection and treats, further solidifying the bond between humans and elephants at the sanctuary.

Suki’s presence marks a joyful addition to the elephant family at the Chai Lai Orchid Sanctuary, bringing happiness and warmth to all who encounter her.
