Kwak Beom experiences intense elephant care during final day in Bangkok

Kwak Beom visited the Bangkok Elephant Park to feed and bathe rescued elephants, an experience he described as being like raising a baby. During the trip, he helped form food into five balls and applied mud to the animals' skin to act as sunscreen.

On the final day of a trip to Bangkok, Thailand, taken without using annual leave, Kwak Beom engaged in close interaction with elephants. In a video released by the TTT YouTube channel, Kwak Beom visited Bangkok Elephant Park, a sanctuary that rescues and protects elephants in danger. The sanctuary was introduced as a place that provides physical care for elephants without subjecting them to abuse.

"This kid is greedy" making food into five ball shapes

Upon arriving at the Elephant Park, Kwak Beom participated in the process of feeding the elephants. At the site, the food was mixed and then formed into five ball shapes, following the instruction "Separate make five ball five ball." Kwak Beom reacted to the elephants' eager eating by saying, "This kid is greedy." In particular, while facing a 4-year-old young elephant, the video captured discussions regarding the ecological characteristic that an elephant's lifespan is nearly similar to a human's, ranging from 30 to 90 years.

After feeding, a walk for the elephants' health followed. This included a process of leading the elephants using the word "Ma," which means "come" in Thai. While walking with an elephant, Kwak Beom expressed difficulty, stating, "It is hard to walk next to an elephant," as the animal repeatedly pushed him toward the bushes. Observing the series of processes including feeding, inducing burping, and walking, he described it by saying, "This is just like raising a baby."

"Sunscreen for the elephant" mud application and bathing process

Following the walk, there was a process of applying mud and bathing to protect the elephants' skin. The video explained that the mud acts as sunscreen for the elephants and can protect them from mosquitoes. Kwak Beom conveyed the liveliness of the scene as he adjusted his distance from the elephant while spreading mud like a shower.

During the subsequent bath time, the process of directly washing the elephants took place. Kwak Beom attempted to bond with the elephants through physical contact. The video captured moments where the elephants appeared to act like babies asking to be held.

"Did you see it poop?" unexpected defecation and the end of the trip

While completing the entire schedule with the elephants, an unexpected situation occurred. Regarding a scene where an elephant defecated, the video showed a moment of embarrassment at the site, with the remark, "Did you see it poop suddenly? What is this?" The schedule concluded by showing that the trip with the elephants was a process involving actual care and contact beyond simple sightseeing.
