He then added: “They tear around the place with not a bother on them @elephantnaturepark.”

Paul posts sweet snap of him with an elephant
Earlier this week, Paul posted another snap of his time in Laos.
The animal-lover revealed that he has been getting close to an Asian elephant and her baby at the Elephant Nature Park in Chang Mai.
He wrote on Instagram: “I’m now at the Elephant Nature Park in Chang Mai run by a truly remarkable lady called Lek Saengduean. There are not just herds of rescued elephants here. There are cattle and lots of dogs and cats so I’m in seventh heaven.
“This Elephant was rescued from a circus. She was tortured to make her do stupid tricks and due to the harsh lights of the circus ring, she’s now blind.”
Paul said he spent a “good hour feeding her bananas”.
He added: “She’s a bit unpredictable and inclined to be narky at times but as you can see we got on just fine (kindred souls?). It’s heartbreaking to learn what these beauties have been through. But it’s more than reassuring to know that they are now in safe, caring and loving hands whilst still being respected for the wild animal that they are.”
Paul finished off the heartwarming caption with: “I’m off the human race at the moment @elephantnaturepark #elephants.”
